Lee Corso Correctly Picked Florida State to Beat Alabama on Last 'College GameDay'

Lee Corso, retiring after nearly 40 years, was the only College GameDay panelist to predict Florida State's 31-17 upset over Alabama, who were favored by 13.5 points.

  • Lee Corso, the longtime College GameDay host, made his final appearance on Saturday and was the only panelist to pick Florida State Seminoles to upset Alabama Crimson Tide; ESPN said the finale averaged 3.5 million viewers, the program's highest-ever audience.
  • Corso retired after nearly four decades on College GameDay, announcing earlier this year that Week 1 would be his last; his headgear ritual began in 1996 and he said `Florida State is my school`.
  • The Seminoles built a 24-10 edge into the fourth quarter and dominated Alabama up front en route to a 31-17 upset victory at Doak Campbell Stadium.
  • Corso ended his television career with a 287-144 headgear record, as every one of the six schools he coached or played for won and he went four-for-four on Saturday's picks.
  • Alabama Crimson Tide entered the matchup as a 13.5-point favorite, yet Florida State Seminoles, a two-touchdown underdog, delivered a statement win, raising questions about Alabama's 2025 depth and coaching under Kalen DeBoer.
