Even though Pat McAfee is no longer working for WWE, he can still unleash havoc at a moment's notice. The uber-popular media personality and former All-Pro punter channeled his inner Triple H and brought a sledgehammer with him to ESPN's College GameDay. The rabid Boise State football fans who gathered outside Albertsons Stadium demanded carnage, and McAfee gave it to them. Unfortunately, it came at Oregon State's expense.

The entire GameDay panel, which included Broncos great Ian Johnson, picked the home team to defeat the Beavers and maintain its hold on the Group of Six slot in the College Football Playoff rankings. McAfee punctuated his choice with a bludgeoning of an Oregon State helmet. The crowd approved, unsurprisingly.

“Oregon State trying to come in here and do something magical, turn their entire season, send Boise State home crying without a CFP entry. Well, I don't think that s*** is going to happen,” he said. “Give me Boise State.”

Spencer Danielson and the Broncos are trending towards their second CFP appearance in the last three years, but they must keep their concentration. The Beavers can be scrappy and will treat this game as the peak of their season. Boise State will take the famous blue turf with a huge target on its back. The players are ready to rumble, though, and so are the fans.

Pat McAfee just injected enough adrenaline into their veins to last until opening kickoff, which is set for 6 p.m. ET. But the sledgehammer gesture goes both ways. Oregon State now has even more motivation to pull off the upset on Lyle Smith Field.
