Ohio St didn't empress me much beating Oregon. Oregon played a cupcake schedule other than Ohio St and Boise St and they just beat Boise 3 points at home. I never figured them in the top 6 to be honest. at the first of the year I said Texas would win it all and I haven't changed my mind and don't count Penn St out. Ewers is the best QB in the league and they have one of the best defenses also.... and they have played a lot tougher schedule than Ohio St. its not going to be as easy as Oregon. I think Texas will beat Penn St or Notre Dame to be honest
@@jameswarren436ewers best qb in the nation? lmao get real. Texas had not played anybody this year besides Texas a&m and they were overrated, Texas lost to georgia twice, didnt play tennessee, alabama, lsu, or ole miss b for real bro
Im just not sure what Texas has ever done to be considered the hunted? I mean outside Vince Young 20 years ago Texas is on the same footing as Penn State and Notre Dame…. You guys lost to the back up Notre Dame just beat lol.
@@JeremiahJohnson-n8t And Texas beat the Michigan team that beat Ohio State...and they beat them back when they were fresh and uninjured. That's why they play the games.
@@ahemphill44 oh the response was we won a game in September I notice it wasn’t how well you played at this stage last year so thanks for proving my point
@@JeremiahJohnson-n8t They are still playing, aren't they? Just like they were last year at this time while OSU was watching it on TV, so I guess that blows your theory. By the way, did they not teach punctuation and sentence structure where you went to school?
@Payne0210 As another Longhorn fan and family, I'm concerned because I haven't seen Texas play a complete game since the UTSA game. When they are hot, they are hot, but when they are cold, they keep the other team in the game. And as the other teams they face are better and better, that hole gets deeper and deeper. I hope you are correct in your gut feeling.
@@ahemphill44 My gut is telling me that Quinn will go into this game with the same mindset they had when he played Alabama and he played lights out. You look at this year and you ask when is Quinn's big breakout game going to happen. I think it happens this Friday.
Who wouldn't? When you take a chainsaw to the number one and only undefeated team in the country you should have supreme confidence. The only question is your focus - is it on execution of your assignment each play - or on making arrangements for the finals. We'll see
Texas hasn’t looked AT ALL, WVER. They barely beat an overrated Aggies team and got bailed out by the referees not calling an OBVIOUS targeting foul. TX IS GOING TO GET SMOKED.
I just can’t get over Taxes top 10 offense and defense in the country and they give up 900+yards to Clemson and Arizona state,Ohio State just give up 500 yards to Tennessee and Oregon combined most of it it’s garbage time,😮 so go bucks
I'm 8/8 in my picks and picked Ohio State to meet ND in the finals. But... at this point I'm picking Penn State to beat ND and give Ohio State a serious challenge for the Natty. I see Penn State evolving each time they step on the field - including Drew Allar who is more confident in his ability to dial up whatever throw he needs. Combined with their running game and some of the most athletic defenders in the game - Penn State is not the same team it was a month ago.
🤗 True enough -- PS has improved..... But look @ OHIO STATE ( !!! ) TALK ABOUT IMPROVE...? They aren't the same as a month ago either ! Ask Tenn & Oregon ? 😲
@KB3TLE I'm an Ohio State guy/alum - and you are so right! Although I think the improvement in PSU is more player related and in OSU more coaching/game planning. Day/Kelly/Knowles have brought it altogether now.
I’m an sec guy, Georgia my whole life… but even I’m sick of this SEC bias. Penn State hasn’t played anybody? They’re 13-1 out the Big Ten. So the whole country sucks if they didn’t play the SEC? Off the top of my head, they beat USC (watched the whole game) who despite getting owned by the big ten is 2-0 against the SEC with LSU and Texas A&M. It’s just gotta stop. You cannot say a power five team that is 13-1 “hasn’t played anybody”.
Yepper all you talking heads have picked against Penn State all season long. The only time you were right was Oregon and Ohio State. But go ahead and keep picking against them. Sooner or later you’ll get it right
Hard to tell ?? The system worked way better than the BCS…all they need to do is readdress the seeding. Poindexter Finebaum will give a compliment and tear apart what he says with the passive aggressive BS he spews…he became “credible “ during the rise in of the SEC…hope he knows how to change his tune when looking from the bottom up 😎
I also believe OSU and ND will be in the final.. as much as I want to see Texas win it all, Texas being the team I mostly associate with.. the Brackets I filled out a few weeks ago, the only game I missed was ND vs Georgia.. probably should have rethought that one better knowing that their QB was out for the rest of the year.. ND looks good, but I still think if OSU beats Texas, they will win it all.. I think the Michigan game woke them up and made them understand, they need to get the ball on the perimeter of the offense and to their star wide receivers.. you can still run the ball, but the idea is, your bread will be mostly buttered on the perimeter.. Texas has a fairly good defense as well.. just wondering if they can put up the same type effort that Michigan did against OSU.. if so, depending on how Ewers plays.. or if Manning gets any playing time.. will depend on how that game goes.. I am just hoping its not a blowout by OSU.. Hopefully Texas will stay focused and composed, and play their game.. that they can generate the pass rush they need with just the 4 down linemen.. and make OSU QB make quick decisions and flush him out of the pocket!! Texas needs to make sure they got #4 double covered!! LOL
Ohio State is easily the best team. Let’s see if they can play like the last 2 games or the Michigan game. That will be decided by Ryan Day and Chip Kelly’s play calling.
Clearly, Finebaum is past his expiration date. He or his staff are either too incompetent or lazy to do their homework witness how wrong he has been. As Clay Travis has pointed out, ESPN is circling the drain giving Finebaum and other hacks a voice.
Agreed. The defense does not blitz enough in needed situations but they are good enough to still rise above most of the rest until they are worn out from playing the majority of the game. The offense plays side-to-side too much. Second half offense has had very limited production. Most second half points have been due to special teams or turnovers...not productive drives. They get too creative for their own good and that doesn't allow the talent to be showcased.
Paul Finebaum is so wrong he should get a seat on The View! I cannot understand how this guy still has any credibility...he's like a broken clock...right twice every weekend.
Don't let this hide the fact that Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffalos were wrongfully denied a playoff spot even though they are one of the most dominant teams in the country.
Paul Finebaum to college football is what Jim Cramer is to stock market.
And not in a good way.
Looking like Texas-Penn State national championship then
This is a really good analogy, actually.
A broken clock is still right 2 times a day
That's the worst dig I've ever heard in my life. Jesus Christ, you must hate this guy. I mean, Kramer is a scumbag.
Every episode starts with Finebaum apologizing for being wrong about something! 😂
Paul is moving to adult swim with a new hip tv series “Beavis and Feinbaum”
I agree with you. Ohio State and Notre Dame will meet in the Final. They are the two best teams.
Ohio St didn't empress me much beating Oregon. Oregon played a cupcake schedule other than Ohio St and Boise St and they just beat Boise 3 points at home.

@@karofy754 wait till the smoke is cleared... you will see
@@karofy754 you shall see
Paul Finebaum to give Penn State credit challenge: impossible
Picking against penn state only because notre dame beat Georgia who he as thought was a fraud
Paul is extremely bias. I would not listen to Paul concerning college football. All four teams are capable of winning and beating each other.
Hearing Texas as a underdog is a breath of fresh air. The hunted is now the hunter.
Hook ‘em

As a Longhorn Fan, I just have this gut feeling that Texas shows up and plays a complete game and Quinn has the game of his life.

Finebaum's pick...........Alabama!!!!
😂
Or georgia, kentucky, lsu, ole miss, miss st., ... etc.
y’all must’ve not heard him slamming Alabama days ago
Don't forget vandy
I am an tOSU Buckeye but that Texas team is tough.
But I thought OSU and Oregon would be a good game. Tenn was shocked how good the Buckeyes are. I am not.
Why… they shouldn’t even be playing. ASU should have won. Refs made sure Texas’s brand moved on
@@erikwill2891 Such BS. Losers always need someone else to blame. Give me a break.
Count Texas out!!! I love it!! Ohio is going to come in cocky!!!
Who wouldn't? When you take a chainsaw to the number one and only undefeated team in the country you should have supreme confidence. The only question is your focus - is it on execution of your assignment each play - or on making arrangements for the finals. We'll see

Keep adding fuel to PSU’s fire
Best thing they ever did was “almost” but not quite beat Oregon
@@20DosSaludosI would say making it to the semi finals is the best
Matt, I enjoy your show, Paul is a great guy too
Here come the Irish. ☘️
Texas has a top 10 defense and a top 10 offense. Don't be shocked if they upset Ohio St.
True but the Longhorns better watch out, Ewers can and does make what I call lazy throws.
It wouldn’t be the biggest upset in the world
Why would anyone be shocked?
Definitely feel it's a possibility.... Depends on if OSU comes out and takes them seriously or not
The game is in texas' backyard as well
Texas can't play second half ball
The only reason he's picking ND is because ND beat Georgia and he's an SEC Homer
100% agree
Texas penn st

Interesting, this could turn into a Big Ten Championship rematch if the OSU plays Penn State in the final CFP.

How can anyone take Finedumb seriously.
Yepper all you talking heads have picked against Penn State all season long. The only time you were right was Oregon and Ohio State. But go ahead and keep picking against them. Sooner or later you’ll get it right
So they picked Bowling Green, Kent State, SMU and Perdue to beat Penn State?

Ohio State is gonna crush texass.
I agree. Even after all this they want to tell people that the SEC teams are so powerful. Finebaum has lost all credibility for me.
Penn State will win by a small margin. Bet on it.
Hey Paul Penn state is pretty good, right??
“Entertaining, that’s for sure”
Ohio State is easily the best team. Let’s see if they can play like the last 2 games or the Michigan game. That will be decided by Ryan Day and Chip Kelly’s play calling.

SEC who? Humility looks good on winners.
Texas is very talented but often seems to underperform its talent.

That's funny.
OSU 38 Tx 21. Sark and quinn are both overrated and will be exposed.
OSU gotta stop listening to the other teams comms during the game.
Penn State will be shown who James Franklin isnt . He is skipping under the radar
Texas period 🤘
F texass
Texas comma
TEXAS +6🔒🔒🔒🔒🔒🔒🔒
penn state had 2 bye weeks
Finebaum and weather forecasters have the same thing in common...both can be wrong 100% of the time and keep their jobs.
Penn states biggest win Illinois
Quit hyping Finebaum.
Don't let this hide the fact that Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffalos were wrongfully denied a playoff spot even though they are one of the most dominant teams in the country.
Penn state ML..bet the 🚜
To much ND hype, Penn State will beat them.
Finebaum is the worst. 100% loser
Ohio State vs Notre Dame then Ohio State runs them off the field🎉
notr dam will win it all
Texas will lose if they try to man up vs OSU
How is it this guy gets any airtime at all??? Clueless and hard to look at.
.... espn... can not get the next playoff. Let's go fox or cbs sports.
College teams , no one knows how they will play
Finebaum is like the women of the View. So bias and no one really listens to him either.
ND didn't play great against Georgia
This is a terrible take.
What? Are you saying ND defense played terrible? U must be smoking rocks to be saying such a thing

Who cares ? No excitement !

Go back to bed, ma'am.
Apparently, your team isn't playing.

No one cares about mini Detroit, the armpit of the USA. You won the blooming onion bowl…….. I’d be happier with a state high school championship
And your Natty has the nasty stain of two suspensions of your head coach for cheating in the same year. Think about that !!
Just like a Democrat. Cheat to win and count it as a true win!
