Paul Finebaum Declares Clemson Is College Football’s “Best Program” Right Now

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

ESPN college football analyst Paul Finebaum crowned who he thinks is the currently the best program in college football while on WFNZ this week...

quote:
“I think anyone realistic has to say that Nick Saban should be regarded as the No. 1 coach in the country with six national championships, however I do the think debate is pretty healthy about which program is the best right now. You guys know my resume and where I’ve lived (30 years in Alabama), but I don’t think there’s really a tremendous amount of debate that Clemson, right now, has the best program in America.

It has passed Alabama in terms of appeal, showroom value and upward mobility. A lot of that is because of Saban’s age and a lot of that is because Clemson is a lot more fun to go play at than the University of Alabama.”

I don't know if Clemson gets the crown just yet, Paul. Do you agree?

Yes, Clemson is the best now...and they don’t frick their sisters

Tulane_STEM_ALUM•79 months

Won 2 of last 3 national titles. Best recruiting class in nation. Young coach. Young QB. No debate.

TigerB8•79 months

Valid talking points.

DeafVallyBatnR•79 months

What did Jim say though.

JackieTreehorn•79 months

Talk like this usually precedes Saban winning another title or 2.

cypresstiger•79 months

Nick told him to say this just to get his Bama players fired up.

No amount of motivation can save them from T-Law. He’s gonna whip that arse again this year.

I dont know what Twitter break up has more drama Danny Amendola and Olivia Culpo's or Paul and Nick. #Dalivia vs #Pawlick

"....a lot of that is because Clemson is a lot more fun to go play at than the University of Alabama.” Surprised he would go there. I'm not a Finebaum fan, but he's right. Clemson has won 2 national titles in the past 3-4 years, and they have Sunshine for 2-3 more seasons.

Gee Paul, how rude. I hope you return the engagement ring to Tiny Nick, at least.

Buckeye Jeaux•79 months

Sounds like Paul and Nicki have broken up.

Bandits58•79 months

clemson will win it this year.

elposter•79 months

Agreed - Clemson is #1, could beat the Browns, should have the best team ever this season, etc.

CDawson•79 months

Clemson finally upped the commitment of paying what it takes to match Alabama.

tigerMike•79 months

Dabo is doing one thing that many staffs don't get, which companies do get. That is culture. He is really building something there and if Bama doesn't scoop him up, they will have a Florida State-like run with 15 years finishing in the top 5.

LSUAlum2001•79 months

Dabo won't follow Nick at Alabama. He will follow Nick's replacement when they inevitably fail by not living up to the expectations he has set.

Hangit•79 months

How does claiming that Clemson is the best get any slobber on Saban's nob? Pawl lives to wipe Saban off of his chin. This does not help.

km•79 months

He's right.

CajunBullet•79 months

Yes ole Paul drips Nicky off of his chin on a daily basis!

Placekicker•79 months

Giving Saban motivation..... you sly ole dog!

tschla1•79 months

Agreed! Their 2020 draft class confirms it.
