As part of ESPN’s “College GameDay” on Saturday morning as well, Saban commented on the Iron Bowl, in particular the importance of the game, as well as the task ahead of Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer.

Nick Saban feels Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer has a tall task ahead of him Saturday in the Iron Bowl against Auburn.

When it came time for Saban to share his prediction for this year's Iron Bowl, he answered with a perfect question of his own. "Do you need to ask?" he said. The GameDay crew laughed in response before Pat McAfee asked Saban if he was going to make his official pick or not. "I mean, I've got no choice but Alabama," Saban said.
