Paul Finebaum Has Already Picked His 2020 National Championship Pick

Paul Finebaum Has Already Picked His 2020 National Championship Pick...Alabama

Shanna Lockwood-USA TODAY Sports

During his interview with 247Sports’ Social Distance series, ESPN College Football Analyst Paul Finebaum crowned his 2020 National Championship team...

quote:
“I happen to think Alabama’s going to win the National Championship,” Finebaum said. “To me, they just have it together. You can debate the quarterback situation, but you can’t debate too much else. I think this is the best Alabama team they’ve had in a couple of years. And I still feel like (head coach) Nick Saban, while everyone else was scattered from March 12 on, Saban was in the proverbial bunker, trying to figure it out. He was in his office when everyone else was at home. …If someone is going to find an edge, he’ll have it.”

Well, I am just so shocked that he would pick Alabama. LMAO

Hangit•47 months

Is it really news when you pick the same team, every time, for everything? He should pause every now and then to wipe the Saban off of his chin.

You could pick Bama every year from 2009-2019 and you'd be at 50%.

DoubleDown•47 months

haha ChipDiamond nailed it. "Damn, he picked a really good team with a track record of going to the NC and usually winning it! He's crazy!"

Placekicker•47 months

Of course he picked them. I guess his ratings were slipping, and he needed to stir the pot.

LSUBILLY•47 months

No shock, he picks Bama to win the championship every year

DoubleDown•47 months

So he'd be correct about 50% of the time the last decade. That's a pretty good track record.

LSUfanNkaty•47 months

Saban was for sure the only coach who wasn't just sitting at home doing nothing.... Good job, Pawl

LSU Bayou Jim•47 months

Finebaum wants to carry Nick Saban's love child.........

ccomeaux•47 months

Saban just has a Heisman finalist at QB and the best WR corp they have ever had but didn't win their division. They won't be Auburn or LSU this year and A/M might get them too. 10-2 for the Tide Pawl.

DoubleDown•47 months

Weird, we've won a lot of NCs with average-at-best QBs. Jacob Coker laughs at your idea of Bama going 10-2.

DD, in those years you had locked down defenses also. That hasn't been the case lately.

oleheat•47 months

I'm stunned. STUNNED, I say.

tigerballs•47 months

This team is better than the team with Tua Jeudy and Ruggs? Paul still hasn't caught on that Nick's defenses are not stopping good offenses. The team with the transendant QB or the best collection of QB, WRs and DBs are going to win. I think we have seen enough of Jones to know he is not a transcendant QB, but they do have a nice collection of QB, WRs and DBs. I'd favor Ohio State with the transcendant QB, then Clemson, then whoever emerges from Bama, LSU and Georgia.

Dale3•47 months

Georgia doesn't even win the East next season...

DoubleDown•47 months

Should be. Quality starters and playmakers returning along with the Defense getting some injured players back. The defense should be MUCH improved and the offense will go back to ground and pound.

Kajuntiger86•47 months

DoubleDown, much improved defense? The defense lost 7 to the NFL..just sayin

idlewatcher•47 months

This is why no one cares about the bald bird

chRxis•47 months

Finebaum picked Bama as preseason favorites? Stop traffic....

JHH4LSU•47 months

Hmmm... Georgia week 3... USC week 1 and LSU in Baton Rouge.... I don’t know if I’d bet the house on this one.

Kajuntiger86•47 months

???????????????? his infatuation with Saban and Bama disgusts .e! They lost 2 starting WRs and a starting qb, lost 7 on defense...so best team in a couple yrs, when they had a top 3 qb and 2 top WRs? Must be some hidden talent!

lsuohiofan•47 months

Shocking pick

Hootie•47 months

Because Saban was the ONLY coach in CFB working during the pandemic. Excellent analysis, Paul. EXCELLENT!

CatsGoneWild•47 months

LSU already won the 2020 championship

Jaydeaux•47 months

I did some searching and can’t find it. How many times has he picked bama?

CajunBullet•47 months

He says this every year...no surprise coming from a Nick Sabin Decibel and an Alabama Elephant Homer!

cypresstiger•47 months

Finebaum picked his pick, eh?
