Aidan Hutchinson is ESPN College GameDay guest picker for Michigan vs OSU

Welcome back to Ann Arbor, Aidan Hutchinson.

The Detroit Lions' star pass rusher and former Michigan football defensive end will be back in town for the huge Michigan vs. Ohio State game at Michigan Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 29.

ESPN's College GameDay announced on Friday, Nov. 28, that Hutchinson will be the guest picker for the huge game after playing in the Lions' 31-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day.

Hutchinson was also the guest picker for the game in 2023 in Ann Arbor, when he went 6-4 on his 10 picks.

Even though the Michigan-Ohio State game will air on Fox, it was an easy choice for College GameDay to head to Ann Arbor this week.

The Buckeyes remain undefeated at 11-0 and are looking to lock up their place in the Big Ten championship game next weekend, while the Wolverines are essentially playing to keep their postseason hopes alive.

With a victory, Michigan will finish the season 10-2 and have a victory over the No. 1 team in the country and the defending national champions, which should be good enough to get the Wolverines into the 12-team College Football Playoff.

With all that on the line, there was no way Hutch was going to miss a chance to be in town.

This will be the 10th time the Michigan vs. Ohio State game will be the host for College GameDay, with the Buckeyes holding a slight 5-4 edge over the Wolverines in those games.
