SALT LAKE CITY — For those who haven't heard, ESPN's "College GameDay" was in Salt Lake City, bringing its national brand of football fever, studio humor and — of course — gameday signs to No. 5 Utah's all-ranked matchup with No. 25 Cal.
Here are some of our favorite moments. Naturally, it all starts with the signs.
Of course, there were plenty of Bears.

The usual clever pun reared its head.

A few #ShotsFired at the visiting coach. (He can't be the only one, right?)

And of course, more shots at the opposing team's starting quarterback — who in this case has proven to be among the top in the nation in Cal's Jared Goff.

But it wasn't all roses and clever signage at the Presidents Circle.

Of course, Cal fans were quick to jump on that sign. This poor Ute fan probably won't be invited to Berkeley any time soon.

But when it came down to serious business, there was a uniform consensus: Utah will beat Cal. All four pickers, including celebrity guest John Stockton — yes, that John Stockton — picked the Utes to live up to their No. 5 national ranking.

Unfortunately, Stockton also picked BYU to beat East Carolina in one of the other Picks of the Week — a pick that went unanimous across the board, and Ute fans made the studio crew know of their displeasure with the notion.
