Pat McAfee and Kirk Herbstreit posted an apology video after picking the SMU Mustangs over Wake Forest on College GameDay, according to a Fox News report. The report's headline states that the two men apologized for those picks, and its summary describes the video as a "humbling apology video."
According to Fox News, the SMU Mustangs were trailing Wake Forest 42-0 at halftime of the game in question. The summary does not give the final score or say how the picks related to that halftime deficit. The summary also misspells the school name as Wake Forrest, while the headline spells it Wake Forest, and this account follows the headline spelling.
Fox News identified SMU as the team the two broadcasters chose and Wake Forest as the team they did not. The report, as summarized here, does not name the specific segment in which the picks were made, the exact wording used in the apology, or any remarks from McAfee or Herbstreit beyond the description of the video.
The account relies on a single outlet. No other report on the apology was available for this story, so the details attributed above to Fox News have not been checked against a second source. Where the headline and summary are silent, this account makes no assumption about timing, production details, or reactions to the picks or the apology.
The headline ties the apology directly to the College GameDay picks. Readers who want the full wording of the apology should consult the original Fox News article.
