Nick Saban Puts SEC Program on Upset Alert Against Group of Five Opponent

Former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban has joined the ESPN "College GameDay" crew for the 2024 season.

Saban has been able to share some interesting insight on college football as he's predicted the winner of a couple of games this year.

After selecting a couple of favorites to win their Week 3 matchups, like Oregon over Oregon State and Missouri over Boston College, Saban revealed an upset pick.

The legendary football coach believes the Toledo Rockets are in for an upset in Starkville.

He picked the Rockets to defeat the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Week 3, after mentioning that the Mid-American Conference produces some extremely talented teams and puts high-level opponents to the "test."

Toledo came into the matchup as a 10.5-point underdog, according to ESPN BET. The Rockets are playing behind a +300 money line designation, meaning they are heavy underdogs in the contest.

Despite the betting lines, Saban is putting his trust in the Rockets to advance to 3-0 on the season.

Toldeo picked up a massive 49-10 victory over Duquesne in Week 1 and a 38-23 victory over UMass in Week 2.

Their defense has been suspect, but the Rockets have been able to score at a high level. Toledo recorded 446 total yards in Week 1 and 384 yards in Week 2.

They've been able to score consistently, which is something that may help them take over in Starkville.
