Timothée Chalamet nails 'College GameDay' guest picker spot with unexpectedly well-informed picks

On a packed day of conference championships, college football fans have already faced what might be the biggest shock of the day: Timothée Chalamet knows ball.

Chalamet joined the desk of ESPN's "College GameDay" in Atlanta on Saturday ahead of the SEC title game between Texas and Georgia. The Oscar-nominated actor then proceeded to make a series of well-researched, well-informed picks, much to the shock of fans and analysts.

During his spot, Chalamet rattled off specific statistics and referenced teams' progress in relation to previous seasons. He name-checked lesser-known players like Ohio quarterback Parker Navarro and SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings.
