    Nick Saban Predicts Massive College Football Upset on Saturday

    By Max Escarpio,

    Nick Saban and the "College GameDay" crew shared their Week 6 predictions while previewing the No. 8 Miami Hurricanes vs. California Golden Bears.

    While most of the "College GameDay" crew rolled with the favorite in a different big-time matchup in the SEC, Saban predicted a major upset in Week 6.

    He believes the No. 12 Ole Miss Rebels are on upset alert in Week 6 against the South Carolina Gamecocks, who Saban picked to pull off the upset in Columbia.

    While South Carolina enters the game as 10-point underdogs, he believes their defensive front and rushing attack on the offensive end will be the true decider of the game.

    Ole Miss heads into the game with a 4-1 record, while the Gamecocks currently stand at 3-1. The Rebels' only loss came against the Kentucky Wildcats, while South Carolina dropped an early season game to the LSU Tigers.

    South Carolina has been playing behind the success of true freshman defensive end Dylan Stewart, who has posted 2.5 sacks and eight total tackles on the year, and veteran defensive lineman Kyle Kennard, who's recorded 5.5 sacks and 10 total tackles.

    The Gamecocks also have a workhorse running back in Raheim Sanders. The Arkansas Razorbacks transfer has produced four touchdowns and 286 yards this season.

    Ole Miss may be heading into the game as the ranked school with College Football Playoff hopes, but their Week 5 loss to the Wildcats led many people to question their true talent.

    With the uncertainty surrounding the Rebels and South Carolina's versatility, Saban believes the Gamecocks will bring out the rooster crow and upset Ole Miss in Week 6.
