Brian Bosworth Returns to 'College GameDay' Ahead of CFP Showdown
This weekend, ESPN’s iconic pregame show, College GameDay , is set to bring all the excitement of the College Football Playoff right to the fans, and one familiar face will be front and center. Legendary Oklahoma linebacker Brian Bosworth, better known as “The Boz,” will join the show as a celebrity guest picker for the first-round matchup between Oklahoma and Alabama.
It’s a storybook moment for Sooner fans. Bosworth, a two-time Butkus Award winner and College Football Hall of Famer, made his mark on Oklahoma decades ago before briefly stepping into the NFL and Hollywood. Now, he’s back on the Norman campus, this time in a different spotlight, ready to weigh in on a high-stakes game that echoes the rivalry’s past. Considering his ties to Oklahoma, it’s safe to say Bosworth’s pick will favor the Sooners as they aim to advance to the Rose Bowl against top-seeded Indiana.

The matchup itself is a rematch with plenty of drama. Just over a month ago, Oklahoma, ranked No. 8 with a 10-2 record, edged out No. 9 Alabama, 23-21, in Tuscaloosa. That victory came thanks to a standout defensive performance and key special teams plays, including a pick-six that helped overcome being outgained by over 200 yards. Both teams have had uneven finishes to the season—Oklahoma eked out wins over Missouri and LSU, scoring just 17 points in each, while Alabama fell 28-7 to Georgia in the SEC Championship. Despite those struggles, anticipation is high for this rematch, which could define the Sooners’ season.
College GameDay will broadcast live from Norman, Oklahoma, on Friday, December 19, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET, giving fans a full two-hour pregame buildup. The show will then make a quick turnaround to College Station, Texas, for Saturday’s first-round CFP game featuring Texas A&M versus Miami, where Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel will serve as the guest picker. Manziel, known for his charisma and dynamic play, adds another layer of excitement to the show, reconnecting with fans and players alike.
This season, College GameDay has already visited multiple college campuses, from Ohio State to Oregon, Georgia, and Alabama, bringing the spectacle and energy of live college football to viewers nationwide. But having Bosworth back in Norman adds a nostalgic twist for fans, bridging past legends with the present playoff intensity. It’s more than just a pregame show—it’s a celebration of the sport, its history, and the personalities that have shaped it.
For viewers planning to tune in, the broadcast is available live on ESPN, with streaming options on the ESPN app and Fubo, which offers a free trial. With Bosworth on deck and the CFP drama unfolding, fans are in for a thrilling weekend of college football.
