College GameDay has announced the celebrity guest picker for Saturday’s highly anticipated show from Tuscaloosa.
Terry Saban — better known as Ms. Terry — will join the set alongside her husband, Nick, and make predictions for the top games on the Week 5 slate. That’ll include a top-5 showdown between Alabama and Georgia.
“I’ve already been working on my picks, and I think I’m going to beat Nick,” she said in a video posted to social media. “I’ll see you there. Roll Tide.”

It came as no surprise this past Saturday when GameDay announced Alabama as its Week 5 host. The rare regular-season meeting between the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide was circled on calendars around the country when the SEC revealed its 2024 schedule.
Alabama alum Rece Davis is in his 10th season hosting GameDay. Davis will be joined at the desk by analysts Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban, Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso. Insider Pete Thamel, college football betting analyst ‘Stanford Steve’ Coughlin and reporters Jen Lada and Jess Sims will also contribute to the ESPN pregame show.
While Saban has been back at Bryant-Denny Stadium for Alabama’s first 2 home games of the season, Saturday will be his first GameDay show from Tuscaloosa. Herbstreit will call the game for ABC with Chris Fowler and Holly Rowe. The game will also be broadcast on ESPN 4K and stream on ESPN+.
The GameDay crew is scheduled for a special on-field pregame show and will also provide halftime coverage.
Kickoff from Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. GameDay will air from 9 a.m. to noon ET.
