With the college football season less than three weeks away from getting started, everyone is throwing in their predictions as to who will win the first ever College Football Playoff and National Championship. And you’ll never guess who radio host and ESPN personality Paul Finebaum predicted to win it all.

Well, actually, you probably will guess. It’s not that difficult.

Before we get to that prediction, though, first Finebaum shared a little bit of insight as to who he believes you’ll see in the first ever College Football Playoff with WRBL.

“I think you’ll see the Big 10, I think you’ll see the Big 12, I think maybe someone from the ACC, they’ll be eliminated quickly because they really don’t belong in there,” Finebaum said. “I think that’s why the SEC will do quite well because the SEC is used to it. Every week in the SEC, you have big games.”

Then came the big reveal. Oh, forget it. If you haven’t figured it out by now, he chose Alabama to win and for order to be restored in the state and the entire world, in his eyes, at least.

“I think Alabama will win the West,” he said. “I think Alabama will win the SEC, and quite frankly, I think Alabama will win the national championship.”
