On Saturday, former Alabama head coach Nick Saban stated that the Miami Hurricanes will win the national championship this season.
College GameDay was live from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, hosting its first road trip of the season. The show transitioned into a live segment discussing what team will win the national championship. National analysis Desmond Howard picked the Texas Longhorns, Pat McAfee picked Indiana to go back-to-back, guest picker Lainey Wilson picked LSU, and Kirk Herbstreit selected Notre Dame.
On the other hand, Nick Saban decided to pick the Miami Hurricanes to defeat the Texas Longhorns in the national championship in Las Vegas. With Saban picking the Hurricanes to win the championship, it shows fans that the team is where they need to be in the conversation for a national title.
Last year, before the Hurricanes were selected into the College Football Playoff, Saban stated that they were one of the most dangerous team in college football. That statement held true as the team came within one win of grabbing a sixth national title. This just shows that what Mario Cristobal is doing at Miami is catching the attention of one of the best coaches to ever do it.
The Hurricanes are currently 1-0 on the season, downing the Stanford Cardinal 45-6 on Friday night. The team displayed what they've been working on as the high-powered offense, led by Darian Mensah, gained well over 500 yards of offense.
On the opposite side of the ball, the team had a couple of mistakes, however they did not allow Stanford into the end zone. The Hurricanes held the Cardinal offense to just 214 yards through the air and 78 yards on the ground.
