The Battle of the Boot has been a close game lately, with five of the last six decided by seven points or less. People have been divided over which team will come out on top, and the panelists on College GameDay were no different.

Arkansas and LSU earned three votes of confidence each. Desmond Howard, Lee Corso, and Kirk Herbstreirt all picked the Tigers, citing LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier's momentum heading into Fayetteville.

On the other hand, it was Nick Saben, Pat McAfee, and guest picker Scottie Scheffler who picked the Hogs. They brought up Arkansas's defense and Taylen Green's explosive play-making in their reasoning for picking Arkansas.

The last time College GameDay was this divided on their Arkansas picks, the Hogs lost a heartbreaker to Oklahoma State. Hopefully, this time pans out better for the Razorback. We'll see in a few hours as Arkansas and LSU kick off in Fayetteville at 6:00 PM tonight.
