The College GameDay crew took a shot at a simply diabolical Aflac trivia question Saturday morning: Which head coach has Lee Corso picked against the most?
Well, Corso has been at this a while. 38 years, to be exact. So, for some, it may be surprising to learn that Corso has actually picked against the legendary Nick Saban the most across his career – 16 times, to be precise. The same Nick Saban sitting right next to Corso at the desk on College GameDay.
Anyway, the reaction to the revelation that Saban is No. 1 on the list drew quite a fantastic reaction from the GameDay crew. Saban even guessed the answer to the question first, prompting an incredulous reaction from Corso.
Check out the full scene below:
Of course, this is a bit of a misleading answer. Saban has led popular (and, it goes without saying, very good) programs such as Michigan State, LSU and Alabama across his many years as a head coach. It makes sense that GameDay would pick games that include Saban-led teams, which in turn makes it inevitable that Saban would be picked against that many times by Corso.
It’s definitely unwise to assume Corso isn’t a fantastic picker because he’s picked against Saban that many times. For those curious, Lee Corso’s current GameDay prediction record (unofficial) is 286-144 – an impressive 66.5%.
So, who will Corso pick today during his final show as a College GameDay host? We’ll find out in just under an hour.
