    ESPN's "College GameeDay" crew, which features Kirk Herbstreit, Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee and Lee Corso, will visit Norman, Oklahoma, on Saturday.

    The "GameDay" panel will review the Volunteers' game against the Sooners while making their picks on a few other games for the Week 4 slate.

    Every week, a new guest picker joins the crew to give their thoughts on some of the biggest primetime games, and this Saturday, that honor goes to music artist Blake Shelton.

    Many guest pickers have ties with the home program, and this time, Shelton is featured as a home-grown Oklahoma native. The country music icon is from Ada, Oklahoma, about a two-hour drive from the OU campus.

    The biggest game of the week will be played between the Sooners and Volunteers.

    Tennesse heads into the game as the favorite, a rare occurrence for a visiting team in Norman. The Volunteers are playing behind the success of quarterback Nico Iamaleava. UT has gone 3-0 this season, outscoring their opponents 191-13.

    Oklahoma, on the other hand, has been known for its hard-hitting defense behind Brent Venables. The Sooners have also started the season 3-0, with wins against Tulane, Houston and Temple.

    While Shelton and the crew prepare to select the winner of the battle between No. 6 Tennessee and No. 15 Oklahoma, they'll also be ready to reveal their picks for some other big-time matchups.

    These games include No. 24 Illinois at No. 22 Nebraska, No. 11 USC at No. 18 Michigan and No. 12 Utah at No. 14 Oklahoma State.
