Timothée Chalamet Goes Full-On Football Analyst on ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’

by

As a lifelong fan of both cinema and football, I must say Timothée Chalamet has truly outdone himself! His guest appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay was nothing short of spectacular. It seems that between taking on challenging roles like his Oscar-nominated performances in Call Me By Your Name and Beautiful Boy, this young man has found time to become a football analyst extraordinaire.

Timothée Chalamet has the internet’s approval to add “football analyst” to his résumé now.

On Saturday, prior to the SEC championship match in Atlanta, the actor who was nominated for an Oscar took on the role of a special commentator for ESPN’s College GameDay. Not only did he show up prepared and well-researched, but he also demonstrated his ability to hold his own among host Rece Davis, analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Nick Saban, Desmond Howard, and Pat McAfee.

During his appearance, the star from “A Complete Unknown” started predicting winners, first choosing between Jackson State University and Southern University battling it out for the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship. Chalamet commented on Jackson State, saying they had won eight games consecutively and boasted 11 all-conference players. He predicted that this would be a straightforward, effortless victory for them, and indeed, Jackson State emerged victorious.

Next up, he accurately forecasted that the Ohio University Bobcats would triumph over their in-state rivals, the Miami University Redhawks, and that Arizona State would prevail against Iowa State. Additionally, he’s making a guess that on Saturday evening, Southern Methodist will clinch the ACC title over Clemson University; the University of Oregon will defeat Penn State; and the University of Texas will emerge victorious over the University of Georgia.

In his prediction for the SEC champion, Chalamet chose between Texas and Georgia, stating he’d side with his “on-screen dad,” Matthew McConaughey, a staunch supporter of the Texas Longhorns. Jokingly addressing the Georgia crowd, the Dune actor apologized to everyone present, as McConaughey played his father in Interstellar. (Note: This paragraph maintains the original meaning while making it more accessible and natural for reading.)

People were talking a lot about the actor’s football expertise online, as many fans expressed their opinions on his role as a guest picker via various social media platforms.

User admitted they needed to apologize to Timothée Chalamet, as they were unaware of his gaming skills,” or more casually, “User owed Timothée Chalamet an apology for not knowing about his gaming side.

It’s astonishing to learn that Timothee Chalamet is not only a dedicated college football fan, but specifically supports SMU and possesses extensive knowledge about various teams. I assumed he was invited solely due to his fame, but it turns out he was an exceptional guest picker on College Gameday.

The third user commented, ‘I didn’t expect to see Timothée Chalamet dissecting college football in detail on my 2024 bingo card.’ He was the best guest picker of the season.

In simpler terms, it seems someone mentioned that Timothée Chalamet delved deeper into college football for a single episode of “College Gameday” compared to how much research Pat McAfee appears to have done throughout his entire tenure on the program.
