who is the guest picker on college gameday

The guest picker on College GameDay for the Week 6 broadcast at Alabama in 2025 is comedian and podcaster Theo Von. He was chosen as the celebrity guest picker for the Alabama vs. Vanderbilt game in Tuscaloosa. Von has no direct ties to Alabama but has become a fan of Vanderbilt as he lives in Nashville and has been closely associated with the Vanderbilt program this season. This was his second appearance on College GameDay, having previously appeared in 2023 during the SEC Championship Game. His selection was notable and somewhat controversial among Alabama fans since he is not affiliated with the host team, but the choice was defended by College GameDay host Rece Davis on the basis of Von's popularity and entertainment value.
