by September 17, 2025

The football universe appeared to favor Lee Corso this weekend as he concluded his iconic broadcasting career with a memorable appearance on College GameDay.

During his final segment, Corso made six predictions, achieving a perfect record. Among his standout predictions was a significant upset where his alma mater, Florida State, defeated Alabama, despite the Crimson Tide entering the game as two-touchdown favorites.

Fans and bettors alike recognized the magnitude of Corso’s picks, likening them to a moment of divine inspiration. One keen observer seized the opportunity to capitalize on Corso’s prophetic selections.

Tyler Lauletta, a writer for Sports Illustrated, shared on social media shortly after Corso announced his final headgear choice that he had placed a bet reflecting Corso’s predictions. His parlay included Corso’s choices of Tennessee over Syracuse, Florida State over Alabama, South Carolina over Virginia Tech, Miami over Notre Dame, LSU over Clemson, and Ohio State over Texas.

Lauletta did not stop there; he modified his bet by selecting both Tennessee and South Carolina to cover the spread, enhancing his odds to approximately 190-1. His wager of $10 resulted in a payout exceeding $1,900.

“I can’t think of a better way to honor Corso than that. Congrats Tyler!”
