ESPN College GameDay is in Athens, Ga. this weekend, where the ninth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs will host the fifth-ranked Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday afternoon.

Last week, GameDay was in Eugene, Ore. for the top-10 showdown between Oregon and Indiana. New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu was invited onto the show as one of the "celebrity pickers" -- and though her prediction of a Ducks win over the Hoosiers did not come true, the New York Liberty guard maintained her impressive record as a guest prognosticator.

To this point in the 2025 college football season, Ionescu is unofficially the most accurate celebrity picker to feature on College GameDay according to the site gamedaycole.com which tracks picks from every analyst and guest on ESPN's flagship show. Her seven wins from 10 tries last week are the most among any of GameDay's guests this season, including podcast host Theo Von (4-3), Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young (a 5-3 record) and the Florida Panthers' Stanley Cup-winning forward Matthew Tkachuk (4-2).

Oregon graduate Ionescu, a four-time All-Star and a WNBA champion in 2024, even correctly guessed that unranked Texas would defeat sixth-ranked Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry, showing some serious faith in Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning - not to mention some serious ball knowledge in general.

In fact, not only does Ionescu own the best record among guest pickers this season, she also boasts a better record than Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, and Pat McAfee
