Scottie Scheffler appeared on ESPN’s “College Gameday” on Saturday in Austin, Texas and was given the duty of being the show’s guest picker for the week.
Among Scheffler’s predictions were wins for South Carolina, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, Kansas State, Iowa State, Alabama, and his alma mater, Texas.
One notable pick for the world No. 1 golfer was No. 6 Miami over Louisville. The reigning Masters and Open Championship winner had full confidence in the Hurricanes improving to 7-0 against the team in the city where he had a brief jail stay earlier this year.

Scheffler ended up finishing 13-under, eight shots back of champion Xander Schauffele.
