Deion Sanders' name holds a lot of weight in the Saban household and because of that Nick Saban wasn't aloud to pick against Coach Prime on Saturday's "College GameDay."
As ESPN's panel of experts gave their bowl season predictions things eventually got to BYU-Colorado, and the legendary head coach shared his reasoning for picking the Buffaloes.
"I am not allowed to pick against Deion. Ms. Terry's orders," Saban said. Colorado."

Fans loved Nick's admission on social media.
"What if we find out Ms. Terry was in the headset all these years calling the shots," a user laughed.
"He knows who the real boss is," another cried.
"Ms. Terry was Alabama's secret all along," a fan commented.
"Coach Saban's comment about not picking against Deion, thanks to Ms. Terry's orders, shows the respect and humor in their dynamic—Ms. Terry definitely knows best!" another person replied.
"Ms. Terry rules !!!" a viewer posted.
Miss Terry is something of a legend in the college football world after serving as Alabama Football's First Lady throughout Saban's accomplished career. The two met in seventh grade and have been married for over 50 years.
Deion Sanders appears to be just as big a fan of Miss Terry as she is of him. Back in June, the Buffs head coach gushed about his relationship with the seven-time national champion and his family on "The Joel Klatt Show."
"Oh my God, I love him and Terry, his wife Terry," Prime said. "I don't mean to call her by her first name, Mrs. Saban, she needs to teach a masterclass on how to do it with all the women that are along aside the man."
"She is unbelievable," he continued. "Just to get your butt kicked and you go back and you look on your phone, and you've got a message from Miss Terry. It's unbelievable."
