An audible gasp came through the “College GameDay” broadcast on Saturday when former Alabama head coach Nick Saban picked UCF to beat Colorado.
The surprise reaction came from Saban’s wide Terry, who joined “CGD” as the guest picker for the highly anticipated matchup between No. 2 Georgia and No. 4 Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
Despite Colorado being a 13.5-point underdog, Terry stayed loyal to her close personal friend, Deion Sanders, picking the Buffaloes to upset the Knights while simultaneously roasting her husband for showing zero loyalty.
“Against our good friend Deion, really?” Terry asked. “He texted you this week and saif what a great job you were doing. I got your back, Deion. Colorado [will beat UCF].”
Colorado is 3-1 this season with wins over North Dakota State, Colorado State and Baylor and an embarrassing double-digit-point road loss to Nebraska. Conversely, UCF is 3-0 with dominating wins over New Hampshire and Sam Houston and a one-point victory over TCU.
Regardless of the outcome of Saturday’s game, it’ll only help prepare the Buffaloes for next week’s showdown against No. 23 Kansas State — one of three matchups against ranked opponents left on Colorado’s schedule (vs. No. 10 Utah on Nov. 16, vs. No. 20 Oklahoma State on Nov. 29).
