If Denis Villeneuve‘s Dune Messiah doesn’t pan out, Timothée Chalamet might just have a future as an ESPN commentator.
The Oscar nominee appeared Saturday on College Gameday at the Texas-Georgia SEC title game in Atlanta, where he made some surprisingly well-researched predictions, including a “comfortable, easy win” for Jackson State against Southern, which came to fruition with a 41-13 victory in the SWAC championship.
He was the only one to correctly predict Ohio defeating Miami before they prevailed 38-3 in the MAC championship. Additionally, he foresaw Arizona State triumphing over Iowa State (45-19) in the Big 12 championship.
Currently three-for-three, Chalamet’s other predictions included Louisiana beating Marshall in the Sun Bet championship, SMU winning the ACC championship against Clemson, and Oregon defeating Penn State in the Big Ten championship.
“I wanna go 6-0,” said Chalamet as he rounded out his picks with Oregon, providing statistics to back up each of his choices.
Although Chalamet’s appearance on College Gameday came as a surprise, as he seemingly has no connection to Texas or Georgia, the visit comes as he promotes his Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, premiering Dec. 25 in theaters.
