Caitlin Clark hit ESPN “College Gameday” this week as their celebrity picker, live from the University of Iowa, and she wasn’t just there to talk hoops. The Iowa basketball legend, now rocking it with the Indiana Fever, was on hand to soak in the atmosphere before the No. 14 Hawkeyes faced off against No. 5 Ohio State. But Clark came with a side mission, and it wasn’t just to promote her new Nike Caitlin 1s, which nearly sold out within hours of release. She was ready to make some serious college football predictions.
Caitlin 1s, Signed Shoes, And A Shot At Gameday Glory
It wasn’t all business for Clark. While promoting her almost-gone Nike Caitlin 1s, she showed some love to the fans, tossing signed pairs right into the crowd. Talk about a score! But the real buzz was when she stepped up to the prediction board. She laid out 10 picks for Saturday’s college football schedule, and she wasn’t shy about her ambition. Clark declared she wanted to go undefeated on the day, aiming to outdo the past guest picker records of actors Glen Powell, who finished 7-2, and Morgan Freeman, who went 7-3. That’s a bold statement, going for a perfect 10-0!
Her 10 Picks, Including That Massive Iowa Call
Clark didn’t hold back, throwing down some big calls. She picked Iowa State over West Virginia and UMass over Eastern Michigan. She saw No. 10 BYU beating TCU, and Arizona over Cincinnati. The Heat fan in her probably loved picking No. 4 Miami over Clemson, and she went with No. 18 USC over Washington. She also chose No. 16 Mississippi State to upset No. 7 Alabama, and Michigan over Minnesota, plus No. 8 Florida over No. 25 Missouri.
But everyone in that crowd, and watching at home, knew what the final pick would be. The one that got the biggest roar? Clark picking her No. 14 Iowa Hawkeyes to take down No. 5 Ohio State. You gotta love that loyalty! Now, we just gotta watch the games unfold and see if Clark’s perfect record dream actually comes true and if she manages to best those Hollywood heavyweights.
