By Cole SullivanShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberAs expected, ESPN's "College GameDay "is heading to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for its final regular-season show on Saturday morning ahead of the massive rivalry showdown between the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes and the No. 15 Michigan Wolverines.
While the Buckeyes enter the game as favorites according to DraftKings Sportsbook, Michigan has won the last four meetings, including last year’s upset in Columbus as a massive underdog. In this rivalry, nothing can be taken for granted.
On Friday, less than 24 hours before the show, "College GameDay" announced its celebrity guest picker for the game: Detroit Lions star pass rusher Aidan Hutchinson. He will join Desmond Howard, Rece Davis, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee, and Kirk Herbstreit on the set.
"A Michigan icon," 'College GameDay' posted. "Aidan Hutchinson will be joining us in Ann Arbor as tomorrow's guest picker ahead of The Game."

Fans reacted to the announcement:
"If I were UM I’d want nothing to do with him after watching his pro performance this year but whatevs lol," a fan said.
Someone else added, "The guest picker got a losing record in THE GAME? That’s funny."
Another person wrote, "Sure you want a Lions player bringing the vibes? They know how to lay an egg."
"Isn't Tom Brady in town? Get him on set too!" One more fan suggested.
...Hutchinson just finished playing on Thanksgiving for the Lions, who fell 31-24 to the Green Bay Packers, but he doesn’t take the field again until next Thursday when Detroit hosts the Dallas Cowboys. That makes it the perfect time for him to step away and join arguably the greatest rivalry in all of sports that he was apart of for several seasons.
While Ohio State has largely dominated since the early 2000s, the Wolverines have found success under Ryan Day’s tenure as Buckeyes head coach, setting the stage for another thrilling matchup on Saturday at noon.
