The calendar year of 2025 has been insane for Texas Tech athletics. Between football, softball and basketball, it's exhausting, but so rewarding.

On Saturday morning, the ESPN College GameDay crew and guest picker Patrick Mahomes made their selections for Florida State's game against Clemson.

Pat McAfee calls it the “Saban Bowl.” When LSU heads to Tuscaloosa on Saturday night to face No. 4 Alabama, the Tigers will be armed with an emotional energy as a result of interim coach Frank Wilson. Both places won national championships un Nick Saban, hence McAfee’s nickname for the game.

However, tragedy struck the Herbstreit family in 2024 when Ben passed away at the age of 10 after a battle with cancer. "College GameDay" honored him with a heartfelt live tribute following his passing. Since then, Ben’s brother, Peter, has continued accompanying Herbstreit on football road trips.
