College GameDay guest picker announced for week 0 Georgia Tech-FSU game

Georgia Tech coach Brent Key said the Yellow Jackets are going to Dublin “to get into a fight” against Florida State — and the announced ESPN College GameDay guest picker will bring a similar tenor to the scene.

ESPN announced Monday evening that WWE star Sheamus will be the guest picker for the week 0 matchup.

Sheamus, whose given name is Stephen Farrelly, is a native of Ireland.
