Predicting who will be 'College GameDay' guest picker for Michigan vs Ohio State

ESPN's "College GameDay" will be in town as Michigan football looks to win its fifth consecutive game against Ohio State in 2025.

The Wolverines' College Football Playoff hopes are still alive, although they must defeat the undefeated No. 1-ranked Buckeyes to have a chance at the 12-team bracket. It won't be easy against Ohio State's potent squad.

REQUIRED READING: ESPN's College GameDay coming to Ann Arbor for Michigan vs Ohio State

First-year Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin has been wildly efficient this season, completing 79.4% of his passes with 27 touchdowns to four interceptions. He's hoping for star receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate to return from injury, both of which are among the most talented pass catchers in college football.

Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood likely needs to have his best performance to date of his young career. The first-year signal caller has nine touchdown passes to five interceptions this season, also rushing for five scores.

Ann Arbor is set to be a spectacle in Week 14. Here's a look at potential celebrity guest pickers for "College GameDay" in Week 14.

'College GameDay' guest picker predictions for Michigan vs Ohio State

Derek Jeter

Hall of Fame shortstop Derek Jeter would be a huge grab for "College GameDay" given his affiliation with Michigan.

The New York Yankees shortstop never played at Michigan, but he did sign a National Letter of Intent with the Wolverines before opting to go pro out of high school. The Kalamazoo, Michigan, native was honorary captain for Michigan in its game against Texas in 2024.

Taylor Lewan

Former Michigan offensive tackle Taylor Lewan is one-half of the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast, along with former NFL linebacker and Nebraska standout Will Compton.

Lewan, a former first-round pick, played his entire career with the Tennessee Titans before retiring after the 2022 season. He was a three-time Pro Bowler but is somehow more well-known for his media career.

Lewan has over 279,000 followers on X. And he obviously hates Ohio State, too.

Aidan Hutchinson

Former Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was the "College GameDay" guest picker the last time the show was in Ann Arbor for "The Game," when the Wolverines defeated Ohio State in 2023.

Not many hate the Buckeyes more than the current Detroit Lions standout. Sure, he has been picked before, but "GameDay" could always go back to Hutchinson.

The Lions play on Thanksgiving, which makes Hutchinson potentially available for "GameDay."

Chris Webber

Former Michigan basketball standout and NBA star Chris Webber is back with TNT as a college basketball studio analyst in 2025, and he could potentially find time to be the guest picker for Michigan-Ohio State.

Webber, a part of the famed "Fab Five" in college, was the No. 1 pick of the 1993 NBA Draft and played 15 NBA seasons. He was a five-time NBA All-Star.

Tom Brady

Seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady is arguably the most famous Michigan alum ever.

Brady would be a tremendous get for "College GameDay," although his affiliation as the lead color analyst for Fox Sports' NFL coverage could be a deterrent from him being the choice.

It seems doubtful, but he's one Michigan fans would gladly welcome back to Ann Arbor. He has never appeared on "College GameDay."

Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian ever, was the guest picker on "GameDay" for Michigan's last appearance, when it hosted Texas in 2024.

"College GameDay" could go back to Phelps, as he's one of the best athletes to ever serve as guest picker. Phelps is a big Michigan fan, which stems from his time training at the school under former Wolverines swim coach Bob Bowman.
