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.

Host Rece Davis and analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and Pat McAfee will begin Saturday’s live broadcast of College GameDay at 2 p.m. local time, 9 a.m. ET from College Green on Dame Street and will be on air up until kickoff. Former Alabama coach Nick Saban, whom Key worked for from 2016-18 as Alabama’s offensive line coach, will also join the show as an on-set analyst.

College GameDay’s trip overseas marks the first time the show is originating from outside the United States.

This is the sixth time GameDay has been at a Georgia Tech game.

After its international trip, College GameDay will go to College Station, Texas for the Notre Dame-Texas A&M on Saturday, Aug. 31.
