In this story:

Nick Saban was wrong about Notre Dame on Saturday but his wife, the famed Ms. Terry was right.

During the popular ESPN College GameDay predictions segment, Saban was the only person on the staff to pick against Notre Dame in their home matchup with Louisville.

Saban cited Notre Dame's inconsistent offense for his reason of concern with the Fighting Irish. Ms. Terry was however all-in on Notre Dame and Touchdown Jesus.

As it turns out, Miss Terry went 7-2 with her picks while Nick Saban went just 5-4 with his. Miss Terry getting Notre Dame's win over Louisville and Colorado's victory over UCF correct were the difference in the Saban household.

That leaves just five programs from power conferences that College GameDay has never done the show at: Illinois, Maryland, Rutgers, Syracuse, and Virginia.
