Finebaum can't even give Michigan a compliment without slagging them off first. I'm not a Michigan fan but his bias is so ridiculous it's funny.
I didn't hear it that way at all, felt to me his and many of our eyes were opened. It's been hard to have a good measure of just how strong teams have really been in the Big 10 because of the level of competition on their schedules.
@@ericjohnson829 Yeah...I think the strength of schedule applies to the SEC as well. The only big non-con game Bama played was a loss to Texas. Georgia played cupcakes as well. Its not like SEC teams have loaded schedules.
Well Michigan did cheat
2023* Michigan cheated.
@@longsleevethong1457lmao 😂
Of course, he didn't want to mention the Maryland, Auburn game because Maryland smoked Auburn 31-13. Last I heard Auburn is still part of the SEC which Finebaum slobbers over every chance he gets.
Georgia ran it up on a team that was devoid of at least 23 players. That game meant nothing to Florida State.
In this current college football situation, non-playoff bowl game results are meaningless. Should we be impressed that Georgia shamelessly ran it up on Florida St.? Stars opt-out, players aren't committed and don't want to get hurt in games no one cares about. Corporate greed caused this.
The starters were all on the bench midway through the third quarter. How did uga run it up? Florida st just sucked.
It's not "corporate greed," it's just greed in general, which corporations, institutions, groups, and individuals are fall prey to! Why? Because we live under a system that serves money, rather than money serving people and life! See fractional-reserve banking and fiat currency!
ya dum
The university Presidents, AD's and the Conference officials have sold control of college football to the TV networks. Period.
I'm glad Paul was able to witness the fall of his beloved SEC 😂😂😂😂
What are you talking about? How’s this a fall? You thought it was going to last forever? I see now why so many teams hate Michigan fans. Y’all are pathetic fans. I mean I know you haven’t been here in a long time but you could act like it especially since you couldn’t do it without CHEATING. pathetic to talk trash after cheating. It’s like y’all have the worst parents. None of your parents parents taught you to have integrity and honor. Just a bunch of cheating doosch bags.
Lmao you better think Michigan going to lose many players to NFL draft they are done for a few years. Michigan play a good game and deserves the win .but don't think from one moment that alabama could have won that game it was that close overtime close bama will be back question is will Michigan
dicksaban is scared of michigan so he's hyping all the michigan prospects to leave early@@jamiegunter7016
@@jamiegunter7016 as a Bama fan, hats off to Michigan, especially their front 7. Bama knows what it did wrong, and sadly didn't learn from Auburn from the bad o line and play calling.
I did hear that Michigan kept 15 or 16 5th year and 6th year seniors, wow. Will be tough to replace all those that leave. But definitely a powerful defense.
Michigan relevant today.. But in a year or two, they'll be middle of the pack in the Big 10.
If the SEC were possessed of a rear end, you would find Paul Finebaum's lips firmly and immovably attached to its pucker.
Wow. Are you an adult? Were you drunk when you wrote that? Jfc
@@longsleevethong1457 longsleevethong were you drunk when you came up with that name? Are you an adult? Jfc
Quality comment rh
@@longsleevethong1457Shut up lil bro
ALABAMA did not deserve or earned the Rose Bowl. ESPN monopoly gave it to them. Breakup espn for violating Antitrust for years..!!
So he counts a depleted Ohio State and Penn State as significant losses in bowl games - but won't count Maryland's win against Auburn (who came within seconds of beating Alabama).
Exactly
Yup... that's what I thinking too 😂
Auburn starters didn't play in the bowl game, that's why he said that
Maryland had as many opt out. Their star quarterback didn't play.@@brownsense1
Northwestern...
He’s clearly unbiased and unbothered about Michigan winning against his beloved SEC royalty Bama. He thinks the loss of Ohio State was damning but Maryland’s win was not worth talking about. 🤡. This is why the only football pundits you should listen to is Herbstreit, Klat, former players.
I was rooting for Texas, but I think this is great for College Football. No SEC team in the Championship is a good thing. I’m actually interested in the game
Paul is pouting because ESECPN wanted Bama in the title game.
Right
Should have been Florida St & Georgia in final four
@johnmarsh3475 what's done is done, and I look forward to the national championship game and the 12 team playoff next year.
@@johnmarsh3475UGA lost to Alabama. Why would they put UGA ahead of Alabama?
They wanted Bama vs. Texas so bad lol
Paul Finebaum hates the BIG TEN we all see it. He says Maryland vs SEC auburn (he wont waste time with) further confirms what we all knew about him knelling down for sec teams
Kneeling
Both teams seemed pretty “out of sorts” early, to be honest. I don’t think that’s down to coaching…I think that’s down to a bunch of 19-21 year olds playing in the biggest game of their lives with the entire country watching. Even with the best programs, games like this typically yield MORE mistakes from these guys, not fewer.
exactly this should be an obvious assertion but paul’s gotta promote who’s writing his paychecks
Might also have something to do with have basically a month and a half without playing a game
Built vs bought in this situation, go blue always!! 💛💙💪
Cheaters
@@longsleevethong1457lmao 😂
Nobody was bought. Michigan "built" 15 or 16 MINIMUM 5TH yr or 6th year seniors that wanted to stay and try for a championship.
Not making excuses bc their front 7 was great against Bamas pathetic o line and scared center.
Bama knows what it did wrong. Hats off to Michigan
@@Michael_919 and cheated. Don’t forget that Michigan cheated in several games.
cheated vs bought*, go blue always
So both teams in the National Championship will be in the Big Ten next year let me hear about the SEC again😊
about time another conference won one lol, been 90% SEC since like 05
About time big 10 finally making a championship its only been 10 years a big 10 won anything
SEC will be back in the title game next year. Fact.
@@OffwhitekeyboardI agree…it’s been boring with the SEC. This is way more exciting.
the sec cheated so none of those counted@@Offwhitekeyboard
As a Michigan fan I will fully admit from top to bottom the SEC has the most talent in football but there's this narrative that the Big 10 is just full of slow plodding collegiate only level players and that just isn't the case particularly among the top teams. Last year 62 SEC players were drafted while 55 Big 10 players were including the likely Offensive and defensive ROYs.
Last year Bama and UGA led the way with 10 players drafted but Michigan was right behind with 9 and OSU and Penn St. were 4th and 5th respectively.
Again the SEC does produce the most NFL talent but it's not like the Big 10 is just void of it or doesn't have it. Schools like UM and OSU churn out a ton of it and have enough talent on the field that they can compete with any SEC team on any given day if they execute correctly.
Respect u guys admitting how wrong u were all year! We all know deep down Paul hates doing this show, but that what makes this win so much sweeter!!
The only reason he's changed his position is because Michigan won. We Michigan fans saw this all along, because they've been united for one goal after their loss to TCU last season. This is common sense if you actually watched and followed Michigan this season. Just makes Finebaum look foolish.
I was surprised how big, strong and fast Michigan is. Washington will be a huge challenge with their passing attack.
next time don't listen to bitsch sec fans
Pfff, let’s get one thing straight, Georgia did not belong in the playoffs. Outside of Alabama in their conference championship, they had one of the weakest schedules of any team in consideration. That’s a fact that SEC homers like Finebaum fail to acknowledge.
FineBum isn't gonna count the Maryland win over Auburn, but a Missouri and Ole Miss win over depleted OSU and PSU is counted! 🤡👀
A lot of teams opted out!!! We didn’t get a clear answer on a lot of those teams!!!
Michigan is influence by NFL Coaching ……Jim Harbaugh is NFL Coach …..
And Nick Saban wasn't an NFL coach?
Yes, very sound reasoning.
No matter what the haters say, especially him....
ALWAYS GOOOOOO BLUUUUUE!
💛&💙♾️
If the committee didn't have 9 members( FROM THE SEC) on the board which consist of 11, THAT WHY THE SEC WILL HAVE 8 TEAMS IN THE TOP 25 ALWAYS
Who listens to Finebaum? Jerry Springer of Athletics.
10:33 You can clearly see his hate for FSU, this shouldn’t be allowed from any “tv professional”
The additions of Wash, Oregon and USC should bolster the big 10 past the ACC next year. for sure/ What a great year for Michigan, just shows the little guy can get in and win in a year when the big guys are sleeping. Congrats to Harbaugh for great coaching. The advantages Meyer created at Ohio have left the program as the physicality is no longer there now that Day has put his hand print on the program completely. Next year should be interesting with the 12 team playoff. It would be great to see Michigan get there again, but we are just not set up with a depth chart for that type of sustainability. I'm also afraid we may lose Harbaugh to the NFL because he's proven he can win at every level. I will still hate on the SEC cheaters, but I'm sure Georgia, Alabama and another one of those rough thug teams will be in the playoff for sure next year.
I dont even watch the bowl games... and making comaprisons from results of these games is ridiculous... players opting out of meaningless games are not a basis NOWADAYS to compare the different conferences
Oh man. That felt good.
Finebaum needs to clean the lens on his PC camera. Looks fuzzy and cloudy. Come on ESPN! You have experts in this field.
and expert fans
That's bull its called faith... GO BLUE!!! You have to support your team
fire finebum he lets people pull the strings for what he says
This is just crazy. Do people forget that against Georgia, Georgia's best player had surgery like 3 weeks before on his ankle and was playing while limping just like their best receiver also was playing while limping and they were without another starting wide receiver, their starting right tackle who is projected to be a 1st or 2nd round pick and their starting middle linebacker, while bama was just missing a running back? All those players were expected back before the playoffs, but they beat Georgia only by 3 with all those players out
Georgia should be in the playoffs the committee got it wrong & the media got involved from the beginning to root for Alabama to be in contention for the national championship !
By 3 points Paul ???? Bad calls killed Georgia’s chances of winning that game & injuries
A number 14 recruiting class making it to the final and if he wins, he’s got to be the best coach in America. Saban is top 3 every year and he should be there with that. I doubt Saban would be winning the sec title with number 14 recruiting classes.
A healthy Ladd and a healthy Bowers changes every thing in the SEC championship game. Georgia was not an accurate measuring stick. Bama got complacent and deceived themselves.
FUNNY- I'd LOVE to have seen Pauls' SHOCKED face when someone told him the Washington Huskies were NOT from Washington DC. Paul and the entire ESPN crew did NOT follow or ever report anything good about either UM or Huskies ALL year - just the opposite. Since ESPN carries the SEC, those are the ONLY teams they follow and PROMOTE. WATCH their faces now that they have no choice but to talk about the winners. It's like watching hostages being FORCED to say something positive about their captors. ESPN was soooooooo pissed that their SEC teams did not make it in, they are STILL TODAY running "special" promotional program "reports" about how GREAT the teams are that lost. FUNNY- how does all that CROW taste as you choke it down Paul?
I'm not sure the Ohio State game provides much of a comparable. The Buckeyes played that game with both arms tied behind their back. If they had a full squad, they would have beat Mizzu pretty easily. Lets be serious, Missouri scored 14 points against a team with no offense.
I totally agree
Georgia was the better team and had some opt outs, but FSU had almost 30 opt outs for that bowl.
Without divisions, does anyone have any idea how the enlarged SEC is going to pick a champion next year?
Michigans offense finally caught up with the Defense. Never doubted they would beat this Alabama team that lacked playmakers and a dominant defense .
Hey Matt, ask Joey if Corum does more than score on one yard runs? Bwahaha!
Enjoy the humble pie and double serving of crow boys 😂💪🏼💯
Iol y’all so happy to beat an a]sec team cause y’all know sec is the best. Michigan had to cheat to win.
@@longsleevethong1457 loser 😂
@@longsleevethong1457 - We fine my brother - we are just a fking good football team!
@@enlightenedrogue3871 when you cheat
F finebum !! GO BLUE !!
This is the difference between beat writers and national writers.
Beat writers knew who Semaj Morgan, Tyler Morris and Roman Wilson are.
If you watched this team each game all year you knew the talent was there. We flicked off teams like they were bugs. That's not something we did in years past. Clearly this is a different UM team and the media never saw it. I don't blame the national guys for watching the 8min synopsis of our games but it's so obvious they don't know much about this Michigan team.
Let's talk how incredible these UM coaches are.
In Finebaum-speak he admitted he has never seen a team firing on all cylinders like Michigan is right now.
Hey Grandpa? I can see that it’s killing you.I just hope that your not yelling and taking it out on Grandma 😂😂 GO BLUE
To say Florida state had a free ride and didn’t earn or deserve a spot in the playoffs for going undefeated is wild to me
So Michigan is doubted because they only beat 2 top teams. Who did bama beat? I hope when everything settles, we have a system similar to English soccer. Image a league that consists of the top 20 teams who only play each other. Even the games among the worst teams near seasons end would matter because of delegation.
SEC bias at it's best. All season long the SEC wins get so much credit.
That is due to lying ESPN cucks like Finescum.
Bama had a couple of huge wins against Chattanooga and Middle Tennessee State...and let's not overlook South Florida.
Michigan cheated
And didn’t get punished. And you clowns are yapping about favoritism lol. Y’all are pathetic. Its obvious who doesn’t win often. Wow
Michigan did not utilize a spy on Milroe. They sent an extra guy or two on Occasions and got home. The front 4 successfully collapsed the pocket on him. There were only a handful of times he slipped away. However, Michigan's zone defense didn't get washed to badly. Georgia spied him with two guys. Was Finebaums buddy actually watching the game?
Because Georgia isn’t very good this year. The second if alright. But nothing more. If you take second string bowls games as proof of otherwise your looking through sec colored glasses.
FACTS
O-line doing well? 5 sacks in a half?
Saban and co got outcoached somethin serious
Are you st00pid? Bama took the number 1 team into overtime. You are a Fakaan clown.
Any time a loosing coach speaks after the game he’s always going to say they didn’t play well enough or they could have played better. YEAH! Would they say that if they won? NO! Just say the truth. We got beat. Period! Nothing more to be said. No excuses but all kinds of reasons. That’s football life.
paul just says lets forget the maryland auburn game for no reason. at least be consistent
ESPN is an echo chamber for Alabama football, and these talking heads actually can’t conceive that Alabama could lose a football game. How sad.
5:00 & 9:26 They are finally seeing they overvalued Alabama, the Georgia win was a fluke while the previous 12 games was reality
Maybe, but you can’t keep having rematches until the outcome you want happens for the favored team. The best team may not always win the championship. Look at the NFL where a 6-11 can beat 12-5 on any given Sunday. It’s just the nature of a tournament system.
"And I know that sounds like you're disrespecting a team..."
No bro, it just sounds like you don't watch film.
5 sacks in ist qtr v Ala!!
Why not “waste time” on the Maryland Auburn game? That was more of a reflection on what the score could’ve been if Michigan didn’t have the hiccups and keep Alabama in the game
They over valued georgia all year everyone that watched them play all year knew that they were no where as good as they've been the past 2 years!
These two eating crow. Wow 🤣
So Finebaum admits it has nothing to do with a QB injury. He didn't think they earned because of the conference they play in.
Its about time the sec isnt winning every year
Michigan played terrible on special teams and still won. Yes! Go Blue!
Aint a team in the playoffs that can beat a healthy UGA, plain and simple! The Top 4 got on their knees then thanked God and the committee 😂after FSU took that bullet for them! Congrats to the other teams but we know politics when we see em! 😂😂😂
Michigan played good and they won but…… I think as a bama fan for over 43 years that it was more about Alabama not being ready like they usually are when you give Saban so long to prepare. All in all it was a great year for bama and they came a long way. I will say that Harbaugh is a great coach but he needs to be punished for the cheating scandal in someway. Just read the timeline and all the things they went out of the way to do.
You guys think Michigan is from another planet or something? There is no super humans from the south. Everyone can be beat!! Michigan had a dominated season and are seasoned. If it wasn't for the mistakes on special teams Michigan would have won by 2 touchdowns easy. What i seen all game long was big Alabama lineman on there backs all day! Epic.
i seen that too
Wow. Michigan cheated in 2023. If Bama hadn’t made mistakes they’d won by 3 tds.

I am from the SEC but freely admit that Michigan is simply better. They are a better team.
Also, they were much better PREPARED. That speaks to coaching.

Georgia was better than Alabama this year. They should have beat them. They would have beat Michigan.
@@kaii231Alabama played a perfect game in the sec championship and Georgia couldn’t do anything right. Also michigans d line got to Milroe. Georgias didn’t.
@@BrianBourgeois- and Bama barely survived lowly auburn the week prior. Anyone can go out and lay an egg.
Ohio State was a better team than Alabama.
There is absolutely no question as to what Bama "coulda shoulda woulda" done in that game in regards to those ridiculous play calls, bad snaps, and that confusion between M Moore and Arnold on defense late in the game.
But I give credit to Michigan's front 7 that showed up and were hungry.
But I find it way to funny to read comments like this, motivated by nothing but hate for Bama.
Before the game it was all about how Michigan didn't stand a chance and how they were gonna get walked.
After the game it was all about how Alabama wasn't that good and how it was the worst Nick Saban team ever.
What a difference reality makes..
Paulie Fraudbaum
Tommy Rees high school offense with a playground qb. Lucky Blue played sloppy to keep Buma in the game. SEC? SEC? SEC? 😂
Undefeated Matters ‼️
Go Noles🔥🔥🔥
If ya think bout it the BIG TEN kicked 2 SEC teams out"sorta". With Washington and Texas joining the Big Boy leagues next year. Not really but anyway, just giving Pac 12 n Big 12 some shade. Lol
Paul you’re a smart guy don’t act like those bowl games are good measurements and aren’t glorified exhibitions. you also know that this is not a clean sport. dogging a whole fan base is everything wrong with fan bases. i had a alabama fan come up to me at a bar wanting to bet the game gloating instead of letting them just play and being respectful. he ended up getting in my friends (whose a woman) wife’s face trying to trade venmo to bet 500 bucks and she really didn’t care about football and told him nicely she really wasn’t into football and wasn’t interested in socializing with him anymore. look at every video before the michigan alabama game and tell me again seriously that Michigan is more obnoxious than every other fan base. no need for insults. those who can’t do teach those who can’t do either do what you do paul still love you though Go blue. michigan players didn’t execute most of the game but harbaugh and his staff put them in every position to win with far less “5 stars” Saban kirby meyer= average at best football coaches when they aren’t able to just out recruit everybody
hi
The ideological disconnect/hypocrisy is apparent in the following statements these two make: they claim to be concerned about Michigan's strength of schedule, buoyed by the fact that Mizzou and Ole Miss beat OSU and PSU. They also claim the Bama loss to Texas doesn't really count because Bama was a different team at the end of the year.
The problem is OSU and PSU were different teams in the bowl games they're using to justify their concern regarding Michigan. This is a fact. OSU was playing it's 3rd string QB from the 1st quarter on and was without the best WR in college football (and 2 of its top 3 WRs) and their #2 RB. PSU was without Chop Robinson, half of its secondary starters and had 2 new coordinators (OC and DC).
This position only makes sense if you're trying to find info that fits the conclusions you've already drawn.
It took you 3 years 😅 Finley finger out Thay better
Wrong! M kept no spy on Mul! You missed Smarts biggest D gaff of having "2" spies on Mul!!
2 biggest M O plays - no Ala player in sight!!
The out of sorts is because of a 4 week lay off, and has often been a problem for Michigan in the Big Bowl games. A team can practice a bunch, but it is not like game to game on a weekly basis during the regular season, so often. We saw it last year, mistakes galore against TCU. I as yet do not know what the 12 game play off will look like. However if you want the best football, start the play off after at most a one week lay off when the season ends. Conferences might want to forget about a conference championship also.
Did you really ask, if you overvalued Alabama? lol
FSU won't be relevant again outside making headlines from its ongoing bid to leave the ACC.. It was a goodish run FSU. lol
I give P.F. allot of Credit here. While I thought he was overly critical and hard on Michigan and the fanbase.... he has now admitted that he was wrong about his assessment. It's takes a mature person to do that.
I also do not blame anyone for questioning Michigan going into this game based on previous performances in the playoffs and also other Big10 teams poor postseason performances.
Just my personal opinion. Go Blue !!
Paul Finebaum IS ABOUT AS CREDIBLE AS Mel Kiper Jr
At least he’s not a cheater.
Thats all you got numb nuts?
Alabama wasn’t dominant like SEC schools have been in the past. They were a scrappy team with a good coach, but this just wasn’t a great year for the SEC or B1G. No dominant team anywhere. That’s why this has been the best CFP ever from a matchup standpoint and why the NC will be a great game.
Michigan was dominant throughout the year just wasn't given just and due credit
An overtime win against Alabama (which lost by double digits at home to Texas and should have lost to Auburn) doesn’t count as dominant. What I’m talking about is the usual blowouts in the CFP. Michigan played a lot of bad teams in the regular season…which isn’t really what I’m referring to.
why do these people who have never balled in their lives have an opinion, like finebaum
“There wasn’t anyone who thought Michigan was gonna come back and win it.”
What a bad quote lol. I thought Michigan would win, I wasn’t 100% confident but I was definitely still confident at that point
The better team almost always wins even if it requires a come back to do it
How's your foot taste?
Michigan good but not great. Wouldn’t have beat 19 LSU 20 Bama or 21 UGA
This Bama team lacks true greatness. Not in playoff form which is a coaching issue
Finebaum? Admits? Ha.

Yea, thanks for NOTHING Paul! This was such a back-handed compliment if I have ever heard one. Both these clowns tried to walk back their comments about Michigan that they have been spewing all season long. Neither were convincing. Again thanks for NOTHING!
