Nebraska-Ohio State is the prime-time Big Ten game Saturday night. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on ABC.

We can’t wait for it, and we know you can’t, either. But before that game takes place, ESPN’s College GameDay paid a visit to Lincoln, Neb. this week for the B1G game. Each week, GameDay makes its selection on some of the biggest games across the landscape of college football.

Along with the analysts, special guest pickers make their appearance and picks known. Some do better than others, certainly, and this week’s picker is Gabrielle Union. Union is an actress, model, wife of former NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade and an Omaha native. Wade joined her in co-picking the games.
