The College Football Playoff rankings came out on Tuesday night and Paul Finebaum has opinions. Boy, does Finebaum have opinions.
The ESPN and SEC Network analyst is fired up about the CFP rankings, a relatively meaningless exercise at this point in the season but entertaining nonetheless. Finebaum is on-board with Tennessee checking in at No. 1 in the first CFP rankings, but he seriously questions much of the rest of the field.
The ACC doesn’t deserve a spot so high (Clemson is in at fourth in the rankings) and the SEC, well, Finebaum says that unequivocally it is the best conference in college football this season.
The fired-up Finebaum made his comments on Wednesday while making an appearance on ESPN’s First Take.
Here are the top 10 teams in the College Football Playoff rankings released on Tuesday night:
- No. 1 Tennessee
- No. 2 Ohio State
- No. 3 Georgia
- No. 4 Clemson
- No. 5 Michigan
- No. 6 Alabama
- No. 7 TCU
- No. 8 Oregon
- No. 9 Southern California
- No. 10 LSU
