ESPN announced the selection on Thursday. A Georgia native and Bulldogs fan, Rhodes is the current undisputed WWE Champion. He&#8217;s also the second WWE star to join the\u00a0<em>GameDay\u00a0<\/em>set this season after Sheamus appeared on the Aug. 24 show in Dublin, Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/CollegeGameDay\/status\/1857175496309486023<\/p>\n<p>The Week 12 trip marks\u00a0<em>College GameDay<\/em>\u2019s 10th all-time visit to Athens. It&#8217;ll be the 38th overall appearance on the traveling pregame show for the Bulldogs, which is the sixth-most of any team in the country. <em>GameDay\u00a0<\/em>will be live from Myers Quad on Saturday morning, from 9 a.m. ET until noon.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia (7-2) hosts Tennessee (8-1) at 6:30 p.m. ET on ABC Saturday night. The Vols currently sit atop the SEC standings and, with a win, would deal a crucial blow to the Dawgs&#8217; College Football Playoff hopes. Might Georgia still get into the 12-team field with 3 losses on the r\u00e9sum\u00e9? Possible, especially if Texas makes the field. But Georgia will likely be looking to make a statement to leave no doubt it belongs.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulldogs haven&#8217;t lost more than 2 SEC games in a season since 2016. They are a 9.5-point favorite over the Vols at <a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"ESPN Bet Promo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/link\/espn-bet-promo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-nojs=\"true\">ESPN Bet<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>College GameDay has announced the celebrity guest picker for the Week 12 broadcast from Georgia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":361656,"featured_media":397549,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","tags":[],"class_list":["post-435470","article","type-article","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article_types-news","teams-georgia-football"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/435470"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/361656"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435470"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/397549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saturdaydownsouth.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
