Pat McAfee Makes High-Dive Pick on GameDay as Miami Beats Florida

The viral leap underscored GameDay’s shift to personality-driven finales following Lee Corso’s retirement.

Overview

  • During Week 4 at the University of Miami, McAfee sprinted to the Lakeside Patio high dive, stripped to a Speedo, picked the Hurricanes, and jumped into the pool on live television.
  • College GameDay posted the clip on X, where the video quickly drew wide sharing and enthusiastic reactions.
  • Reporter Jess Sims also jumped from the same high dive earlier in the broadcast.
  • Miami validated the on-air pick by defeating Florida 26-7, holding the Gators to 141 total yards and 0-for-13 on third downs.
  • McAfee later shared a video of a call from Lee Corso praising the show and saying he had passed the torch.
