One of the staples of ESPN College Gameday is when special guests come onto the show and give their picks for the biggest games of the week, and popular hip-hop artist Jack Harlow certainly made an impression with his appearance on Saturday morning.
Harlow gave some very strange but hilarious reasons for a number of picks that he made, which made for some very funny moments on the pre-game show.
Harlow started by picking the LSU Tigers to beat Florida State on Sunday because he was hanging out with former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow on Friday night.

Harlow then made his pick for the top-25 matchup between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Arkansas Razorbacks, where he picked Cincinnati because he “used to talk to” a girl from Cincinnati.

When asked to make a pick between Oregon State against Boise State, he asked longtime College Gameday personality Lee Corso who he was picking, and when Corso revealed he was picking Oregon State, he announced that he would also be picking Oregon State.
Let's just say @jackharlow's strategy for GameDay picks is a little unconventional … we love it tho 😂😭 pic.twitter.com/uIde23p46a

While Harlow’s appearance on the pregame show featured almost no actual football insight to fans at home, many still loved his charisma and jokes while on the show.

The hardcore football fans who want hard-hitting analysis likely didn’t love Harlow’s appearance on the show, but the casual fans who wants entertainment certainly got a treat from Harlow’s presence on Saturday.
