Pat McAfee was wrestled to the ground by Nick Saban and Bryce Young after picking Georgia to beat Alabama on ESPN College GameDay in Tuscaloosa.

Pat McAfee picked Georgia to beat sixth-ranked Alabama on ESPN College GameDay in Tuscaloosa ahead of Saturday's SEC matchup, the only panellist to make that choice. Desmond Howard, Nick Saban and Bryce Young all picked Alabama to win. McAfee defended his pick to the crowd of Alabama fans, saying Georgia had been 'dominating every single team this season' and 'haven't trailed for a single second'.

Saban and Young responded by shoving McAfee off the desk to the ground. McAfee apologized to Saban repeatedly as he was hit and pushed from his seat.

Both teams enter Saturday undefeated at 5-0, with Georgia ranked No. 2 and Alabama No. 6. The New York Post reports that Alabama has a 5-2 record against Georgia since 2020, going 2-0 at home in that span. Georgia's quarterback Gunner Stockton has thrown for 1,049 yards and 13 touchdowns while completing 76 per cent of his passes. Alabama recently defeated then-No. 16 Mississippi State 56-23 on the road.
