Texas Tech football called out the College GameDay crew for unanimously picking Iowa State

Unranked Texas Tech pulled off a stunning 23-22 upset on the road against No. 11 Iowa State on Saturday during Week 10 of the college football season, handing the previously undefeated Cyclones their first loss of the season.

Iowa State entered this game with a top-20 defense and was a 13.5-point favorite over the Red Raiders. Combine those factors with the Cyclones' home-field advantage and Texas Tech riding a two-game losing streak — including a double-digit loss to a not good Baylor team — and it makes sense why many people figured Iowa State would win and stay undefeated.

That's the direction ESPN's College GameDay crew took when making picks for Iowa State-Texas Tech. Desmond Howard, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and guest picker (and professional James Franklin impersonator) Keegan-Michael Key unanimously picked the Cyclones to win.

Well, the social media folks behind Texas Tech football's Twitter account took note, and after a late touchdown gave the Red Raiders the lead and eventually the upset win, they perfectly trolled the GameDay crew's incorrect picks.

For what it's worth, the majority of For The Win's picks against the spread this week went with Texas Tech at least covering, if not winning outright.

Trailing 22-17 with 20 seconds left on the fourth-quarter clock, Texas Tech running back Tahj Brooks ran for a five-yard touchdown to give his team a one-point lead after a failed two-point conversion, and the Red Raiders held on for the victory.
