VIDEO: Jonathan Papelbon picks Mississippi State by busting out an actual bulldog

Philadelphia Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon, who attended Mississippi State, was in Starkville on Saturday as the guest picker for ESPN's "College GameDay" program. 

Not surprisingly, Papelbon picked the bulldogs. What was surprising was the way he did it.

Now that we know who Papelbon is picking in Saturday's marquee matchup between No. 3 Mississippi State and No. 2 Auburn, the only question remaining is whether or not that's the same bulldog that chewed up the 2007 World Series baseball.
