Nick Saban's Wife Terry to Be College GameDay Guest Picker for Georgia vs. Alabama

Terry Saban, the wife of former Alabama head coach Nick Saban, will serve as the celebrity guest picker for ESPN's Saturday College GameDay coverage of Alabama vs. Georgia.

"I've already been working on my picks, and I think I'm going to beat Nick," Terry Saban told fans in a Friday video.

Nick Saban made his debut as a College GameDay analyst in August after retiring following 17 years with Alabama.

During that span, Saban led the Crimson Tide to a 201-29 overall record on the team's way to nine SEC championships and six national titles.

One month after Saban's January retirement, ESPN announced they had hired the former coach as a College GameDay analyst who would also make appearances during events like SEC media days and the NFL draft.

After making several guest appearances on the program during his college career, Saban made his debut as an analyst on Aug. 31 during Fresno State at Michigan.

Now, when he is joined for Week 5 by his wife of more than 50 years, the question will be whether the Sabans' allegiances to Alabama will influence this weekend's picks.

When asked after ESPN's hire whether he would automatically pick Alabama, Saban told Ryan Hennessy of WVTM 13 in Birmingham he didn't "know that you always have to pick the team that you think is gonna win."

"You're allowed to have a spiritual feeling about who you like and who you want to win. So I think it'll be a lot of fun," Saban said in February.

Fans will have to see if that sentiment sways either Saban as they make their picks ahead of Saturday's matchup between No. 2 Georgia and No. 4 Alabama. The matchup will pit top quarterbacks against one another as Georgia's Carson Beck and Alabama's Jalen Milroe battle to for the chance to lead their respective teams to open the season with a 4-0 record.
