“Stephen A and Paul Finebaum get HEATED over Clemson”
*thumbnail is a photo of them laughing*
Paul is still salty from Clemson winning last year
Thats was clock cleaning unlike anything ever. Might bama got stumped. Lucky there's a playoff where they play each other or bama would have been given the championship.
Paul hates Bama.
@@alexfleming6304 I mean I've seen way worse beatdowns. Alabama got handled no doubt, but they also moved the ball for over 400 yds, just had major red zone issues. A pick 6 and a DB falling down for a free Clemson TD didn't help either.
@@sethmartin7084 that would be cool but wasnt the score like 44 - 16. The game was over by halftime. If we count everything clemson missed on the score would have been 60 - 28. It wasnt close bro.
@@alexfleming6304 I never said it was. I'm just saying that Alabama moved the ball consistently and beat themselves on several crucial plays. But the pick 6 was Clemson; they made the play, not saying Bama beat themselves on that play. The playcalling was baddd too. Bama ran a QB draw with an injured QB on 4th and 10! lol. It was a bit closer than the score, which yes it was 44-16, showed. A DB usually doesn't fall down for a free TD. lol SMH, the same thing happened in the Ohio State game when they beat Bama in 13 when OSU had Zeke. But I'm not making excuses, Clemson was no doubt a much better team. Alabama secondary really got exposed.
I’m surprised Stephan A didn’t say “Indianer” like he did “Nebrasker”
😂😂😂😭😭😭
S3LO Jokiam Noaher
I HEARD IT😂😂
KEMBER
S3LO 😂😂😂
So if Clemson undefeated they still can’t play the playoffs 🥴 Paul is such a hater
I think he's implying if they have a loss. I listen to his show a good bit during football season.
Desman Robinson they shouldn’t but they will that’s what he’s tryna say
Clemson shouldn’t.
@@sethmartin7084 No when Clemson beat the location of the blind college that proves that they're a really good team !! their schedule is really tough
Desman Robinson Not if they don’t look like one of the 4 best teams. They’ve played nobody.
Bruh he can hear yo Thoughts
Seriously the ears on that man...
Do they get xm 📻
Paul Finebaum can’t see anything past his SEC tinted glasses
Wyatt Bucey couldn’t have said it better myself
Right
Clemson isn't playing like a defending national champ and the Acc isnt a great conference
@@NickHornstein156 facts
Agreed. What were his 4 I wonder? I don't think Alabama should have even gotten in last year. They were horrendous. Softer schedule than UCF.
Paul Finebaum still in his feelings his Alabama got their boots smoked by Clemson
This dude holds his Finebaum film room and every time bama loses its just awesome to watch, he always makes excuses for bama
Finebaum is a Tennessee alumni, one of Alabama's biggest rivals.
Won’t happen again
@@slimbrady6691 so what, the dude is a huge nick saben fan. He loves bama
@@walt8238 He criticizes Saban when needed, he just realizes Saban and Bama are the best more often than not.
Paul Finebaum has made a career off of saying opinions and facts that everyone already knows
Kind of his job
Ahmad Horton people who cover football should offer facts and insight. Paul Finebaum literally says opinions and states the obvious. There’s not one thing that Paul Finebaum says that is shocking or interesting
@@cuhnation I like Finebaum, but I gotta agree with ya. He does offer some interesting tidbits on the radio a fair amount, but on TV it isn't the best format for him. He's a really good radio host though, lets people talk and doesn't hang up on them right away like a lot of people will.
@@cuhnation honestly that's what most media does very few people break ground with any type of inside information in this field
better then ryan clark
Everyone: comments about discussion
Me: Why is Paul even on this show
Why is Paul not working for the SEC conference??
College Football is clearly broken if the Team that wins it all and then goes undefeated the next year cannot defend their Title
@cpk1994 what you and most of these "well they won it all last year" people don't understand is. this is a different team this year. look at all the players that got drafted from Clemson. why should this year team get credit for what those players did
@@halosawz Because defensively Clemson is currently ahead of where they were last year at this point in the season. Not to mention they have more depth on offense
@@halosawz hmmmm let me think.... Ok that was easy!!! Dude they returned almost there entire offence 8players from offence that played in the Naty last year when they beat the breaks off Bama T.Lawrence, Ross,Higgins,Etienne,Amari Rodgers who was hurt alot last season and if you have watched him play is one of the best WR's ive ever seen, Overton all but one offensive lineman etc, Also 8 returning defence players "Starters that played in the Naty thats just the CB's and safeties and LB, X.Thomas DE who had 2 sacks for loss in Naty played every play last season that Dexter Lawrence didnt. Clemsons Defence is getting Nastier and Nastier and there Offence will continue to get better. So you didnt do your homework is all I'm saying on Clemson they had some big losses on Defence mostly just DT and DE but returned more plahers than any other team... They have 1 close game to NC and people doubt them well for one Etienne fumbled if that fidnt happen there was a score most likely then several Off. False starts which cost them atleast 1 TD atleast plus it was a road game and NC isn't that bad... Then Clemson goes to Florida St and just so you now FL St. Has beat Clemson in recruiting 5 of the last 6 years so they have more 5* players and so much talent and Clemson smashed them just like they did Texas A@M who were ranked #15.. Several other beatdowns and they won by 28 points in there first 7 games last season well guess what this year there first 7 games 28points avg so there going at same pace.. Anyways just wanted to put my opinion in and enlighten people who dont do homework just because they dont like a team
@cpk1994 I'm pretty sure if Clemson loses 2 games they won't be in the playoffs. Theres a great chance they won't be in if they lose ONE game
Your forgetting There 1 pt win against a terrible UNC. If you took care of business against UNC you would still be #1.
Clemson SPANKED both Notre Dame and Alabama last year even with Tua whoever at Quarterback. That should get them some respect.
Does, ... from HONORABLE people.
Sir that was last year you can’t carry over sir you win 1 year and lose the next that’s how it works.
You will see first hand up front.
SPANKED!
Paul "Clemson dosnt deserve a lifetime achievement award to get in the playoffs." Let Alabama slip up like 2 years ago and then "Alabama has PROVEN historically they deserve to be in the playoffs every years" SMH lol
Clemson beating the brake off ALABAMA in natty hurt Paul Finebaum too soul 😅😂🤣
That is a little weird how college does the ranking tell him Stephen A
tell him what
Gilbert Tarin Whats weird about it. In the nfl for the most part every team is on a equal field talent wise but college football it’s not like that at all so the quality of a win matters. Clemson has better players then North Carolina at every position so a 1 point win looks bad. While in the nfl a 1 point win is common because they are all pretty equal. A win is a win no matter where or who you play but undefeated Baylor and undefeated Alabama aren’t the same team
@@fletcherbruce3391 Good explanation!
I guarantee Dabo loves this. When Clemson crushes everyone in the playoffs, he will have used this as fuel for the fire.
It's very interesting how they talk about weak schedules but never mention the weak SEC schedules. I forgot espn is in bed with the SEC..smh.
@Cool Breeze how lsu beat texas and Georgia beat nd this year and Florida beat miami?
In the last 3 years bama has only faced 2 good teams in their non conference games its pathetic now that they dont play anyone good till November
THANK YOU
@@Royrose644 it's lsu and Bama. I think Oregon is overrated but Auburn is decent but they've lost. I'm hoping lsu takes Bama to the shed. Lsu to me has played the best schedule. Bama ain't played nobody except a&m. So the fact they are #1 is saying again, the Ncaa is setting this up for the sec.... again
Fr
Why would you listen to paul finebaum about anything? until last week he wanted Georgia in the playoff. That didn't last long.
I bet he can hear everything
Shhhhh hes listening
🤣🤣
Man his ears are fucki g huge...looking like dumbo 😂
Clemson wins a close game on the road against UNC. Finebaum: "They're not even in my top 6! But UGA is 3rd for me." UGA loses at home to a So Car team with their third string QB that lost to UNC earlier in the year. Finebaum: "Playing in the SEC is brutal. UGA is still in my top ten and could run the table and make the playoff." 😂😂😂
PAULS FACE WHEN CLEMSON SMACKS ONE OF HIS BELOVED SEC SQUADS. TO USE HIS OWN WORDS: " I AM GOBSMACKED"
But a SEC team beat Clemson lol
How is paul still employed. I wanna fall asleep everytime he talks.
Jake Angevine same here man, he is ridiculous, glad I don’t watch this show every day or hardly at all.... Undisputed is a 10000000X better though 🤷🏻♂️
He says, Alabama, Georgia, SEC and he hates Clemson so SECPN keeps him on...as useless as Heather....this fool harped on preseason schedule, why Clemson should not be #1 and now that Georgia is gone...the AP pole is useless....
I don’t know why this man just say he’s afraid of Clemson
I dont think any of the top 5 teams are scared of Clemson this year. They don't look nearly as good as they did last year but I do think they should and will get a playoff spot so we'll find out in the end
@@mattcrhs they rarely look great 1st half of the season. 2nd half they turn it up. Been that way last 4-5 seasons. Not one of those teams, ESPECIALLY Finebaum wants to see Orange across the field come playoffs.
@@mattcrhs Clemson has looked great, the only difference between this team and last years team is the back 7 are the leaders on defense instead of the DL. If you're not scared of Clemson, then you should be.
@@mattcrhs Quick Question, Who is going to move the ball against them? Tua couldn't. Burroughs would struggle. Fields would struggle. I think they will hold any offense under 21 points.
Matt all the top 5 teams besides Clemson should be scared of them. You’ve listened to the media way too much that are trying to paint Clemson as not that good this year hoping it will affect the college playoff selection committees opinion. The difference between last years team and this years team is very minute. Last year the average margin of victory through 7 games was 28.7...its 28 this year. Nobody wants to see Clemson on their schedule come playoff time
Welp that Wisconsin argument is out the window
If Alabama was on Clemson's shoes, Paul wouldn't have the same opinion.
Exactly
He’s just scared if Clemson gets in the playoffs, they’ll embarrass his Bama team again.
But they wont beat lsu or osu
No need they got embarrassed last night
Clayton Garth I wouldn’t say embarrassed. Congrats to LSU for the win. Clemson will be back. Enjoy the victory though, it was well earned.
However if Clemson goes undefeated and they are one of four undefeated teams. Clemson absolutely deserves to go to the playoffs.
I’m pretty sure Paul was arguing for Bama to be in two years ago when they played virtually no good teams, lost the iron bowl and couldn’t play for their conference title... but now “we can’t evaluate based on past years success” smh
I'm going with Stephen A on this one Clemson should be in the playoffs.
This happens every year. Clemson is overrated, they don't play anybody, and then they show up and obliterate OSU and Bama. If you go undefeated as the reigning national champions with everybody gunning for you and giving you their best shot, idgaf what your schedule looks like.
PRECISELY On Point.
Agree with Max and SAS... Until further notice, Clemson wears the crown... That's how it works in sports
Jared Thomas 2015 Ohio didn’t get to defend theirs
@Malik Will they also didn't play an FCS team or only 1 ranked team. If clemson played ohio state's schedule this year they'd have at least 2 losses by the end of the year.
@Malik Will clemson would kill the most balanced and dominant team in the country this year? With that defense? You're the delusional one here.
@Malik Will you're an idiot if you believe that. Ohio state's played better competition than both of them.
#2 defense
#1 sacks
#3 total rushing
#5 passing efficiency
#1 margin of victory
Top 5 SOS
24tds in 30 redzone attempts
Clemson and Alabama aren't close to the Buckeyes this year. Nobody is. You can think about the past all you want. While clemson and alabama have been relevant the last 7-10 years Buckeyes have been relevant for the last 20. If ohio state was in the acc or sec the last 10 years they'd have just as many championships as both of them because they'd get the sec bias or the sorry acc schedule to help them get in and not left out.
@Joe j you're an idiot. Buckeyes don't lose the big games. Go check your facts and then tell me who your team is and we'll compare records against top 25 opponents.
The CFB playoffs needs to expand to 8 teams. Its too hard to define who should make it or not make it.
What about the discussion of how there should be playoffs with more than just 4 teams so we actually give some teams that deserve it a chance to prove their worth?
@cpk1994 indeed but I think that it can be argued that teams outside to top 8 probably wouldn't stand a chance to win the title whereas teams outside the top 4 might.
Stephen A make 1 speech at Clemson now all of sudden he think he the assistant coach
Finebaum probably tells himself and his wife “I could totally shut up that Stephen A Smith” and he comes on and looks like a plug by the ncaa.
😂😂😂
Stephen A. hating on Ohio State, Finebaum hating on Clemson BOTH can beat Alabama yeah I said what I said!
Clemson has the most talented roster in college football. If they go undefeated THEN OF COURSE they should be in the playoff.
"Stephen A. and Dumbo get heated over Clemson" - fixed that for ya ESPN
Those 👂 👂 tho
I’m really starting to think that Paul and all of the SEC is afraid of Clemson. They don’t want Clemson to body another SEC team which they will.
Lol but a sec team bodied Clemson last night
Paul Finebaum does not know college football outside the SEC
who has alabama played? Nobody
Thank you. I'm bama fan but them dudes haven't played nobody. Both Alabama and Clemson don't deserve a playoff spot
but bama are about to player better teams
FACTS!
Yannis Zoro can people stop with the who have they played with every team the season is not even 4 months in teams are not in the grind of their schedules yet calm down
Rashawn Jackson bruh they schedule games 10+ years ahead do you understand that
Leaving an undefeated Clemson out of the playoff would be ludicrous.
Sorry. If clemson goes undefeated and blows everyone out while doing it, they undoubtedly should be in the playoffs. They went out and played A&M, not their fault they ended up bad. That looked good at the beginning of the season. And they cant control their ACC schedule. You cant penalize them because their conference sucks.
LSU,Bama,Osu,Ou, and Wisconsin has not struggled against no one this year against the good and the bad teams.
No they shouldn’t.
No they shouldn’t. FSU did the same exact thing and then got into the first playoff and got their doors blown off by Oregon. They did not look like they deserved to be in that game. Such a stupid argument. That FSU team and this Clemson team have a similar trajectory so far.
@@frankfrankerson89 Florida state struggled with just about every team that year what are you talking about. I said if they blow everyone out. They're not on the same trajectory. Besides the north Carlolina game, they've blown everyone out. The texas A&M game wasnt no where near as close as the score indicated. Get yo facts right.
@@malikblue6559 Wisconsin struggled against northwestern.
Everyone is PRAYING Clemson doesn’t get in because they know they will beat .the brakes off every team in the country
They won't beat Alabama this season now just know that
Just like they did North Carolina?
@@seanwalker5347 I didn't say they lost but by saying "every team in the country" that is false
SeanTheRuthless _ you do know Clemson almost lost to an unranked SYRACUSE AT HOME last year and beat Alabama and Notre dame by a combined 55 points in the playoffs.
Marcus Allen Alabama’s defense is trash, Clemson secondary is the best it has EVER been, with 5 star juniors filling in the dline
Paul use to write for the Birmingham, AL paper. I first saw his article when I was in the 10 grade after we played Carnell Cadillac Williams.. he use to provide the rankings for the top 12 players
No georgia talk from finbaum after saying they were the top 2 teams in the nation
Paul Finebaum: "that Clemson deserves some sort of reward for winning the national championship that is the most absurd thing said by a smart man"
yeah its called a national championship trophy
Snd yet he'll harp on how many Bama/SEC has won!
Y’all got it last year not this year.
No way an undefeated clemson is left out of the playoff.
Mason Lane they have no team to beat them not one ranked team is on there schedule and if the do make it to the playoffs which they won’t their out in the first round easy
@@Ethan-bp4ud Clemson beat osu 31-0 a few yr ago and blew out bama last yr. cant count them out just yet
If an undefeated Wisconsin and 1 loss Ohio State team with their loss being to Wisconsin,Alabama undefeated or LSU undefeated/1 loss team..Clemson best win is Texas A&M..lmao their remaining schedule is a joke. 🤣🤣😂
@ They obviously arent the same team from 2 years ago. They look no different than the product on the field for UGA..The difference is coaching is winning these games for Clemson and pathetic schedule for Clemson. Alabama will steamroll Clemson this year.
@@bulldawgfreakzoid2461 I hear you, 95% analysts predicted Clemson would lose last year. Let's see how they perform in the playoffs, which they should be in considering they go undefeated. No one loss team should be ahead of Clemson with the exception of LSU. Ohio State faces two tough teams this year - Wisconsin and maybe Penn State (who hung around with Pittsburgh till the final quarter). Alabama plays LSU and Auburn, both I believe would be good teams but we've to see more of Auburn.
Simple; All power 5 teams should get in.That right there is 5,Then one conference would be allotted an extra team with one loss. Also one independent team and 1 small school in a smaller conference like the American, Mac,Or Mountain West. There are your 8 teams.
@cpk1994 Ok reread what you just said. Obviously in any conference your not gonna have more then one undefeated team because they got to play each other. How is allowing every power 5 team not a good idea? And an American or Mac school in. Example UCF was undefeated like 2 yrs straight and in like 4 yrs they have like 2 losses yet they don't even get the opportunity to compete for a championship when they even beat their bowl opponents including an sec team. You don't have to like my idea,its a great idea nonetheless. I'm sure every coast would like to see someone from their conference represented. Excellent idea!
Paul will be trying to put Alabama in the playoffs after they lose 2 games he's definitely clueless about the playoffs because Alabama was the Champion a couple of years ago and he was saying the opposite of this debate he's definitely trying to put all SEC into the playoffs but sorry Clemson Tigers will be in the playoffs
Alabama will not lose one game.
I know your hoping they lose so your team doesn’t have to deal with them.
LSU and Alabama are easily 2 of the best teams in the country. I couldn't understand how both of them don't make the playoffs.
I look for Alabama to lose to LSU because their secondary has a lot of weaknesses.
paul: did u cry when clemson decimated Alabama last year, I mean physically go back to your room and cry; bet u really did
But it's ok when Paul says that about Alabama
Stephen A: “Miami (Ohio) who they beat 76-5 by the way!”
Max: “Is that a lot?”
Me: 😂😂😂
Winning matters and losing has to matter!
Paul looks like he's one whiplash away from being paralyzed...good lord
Did you see bill goldberg's hand around his neck. Wrapped his whole hand around it.
If Clemson goes undefeated , they should be in the playoffs . There the defending champions , there schedule is a little weak but there winning . Lets not forget they handled Alabama in the national championship game last year . This is coming from a Gators fan .
Somebody tell Paul Finebaum his BIAS is showing!
Oh he hates Clemson he'd put a 2 loss SEC team in before He puts Clemson in..Even if they go undefeated..
The only teams that have played more than one top 10 competition is Texas and LSU. LSU passed the tests, UT did not.
Anyone else peep how Stephen A said he was terrified about driving through South Carolina😂
LilSvmba yeah to Clemson idk why is it cause hoods or just the area has hills or some never been there so idk
Get Money lol we got everything. Clemson is where I’m from . Not too many hoods left in Clemson u got Scott circle , Abel , and red hill. U go thru red hill on way into Clemson from out of town . It’s not really a hood tho like that tho . Pendleton is where the hoods are
White Tiger so why was he scared lol ? Stephan a made it seem like Africa
Stephen A knows who the best team in the country is ON WISCONSIN
No 😂😂
Just lost to Illinois
I love how Paul is still mad about the teams that got in last year. Like get over it.
It is amazing how much hatred there is for Clemson throughout these comments. I guess it's just a law of nature that when a team achieves the pinnacle of success and stays there for awhile , it brings out hatred born of jealousy.
And all the bullshit coming out of there mouths saying there play a no one while sec teams does it everygoddamn year and if we lose one game where out so what does that say to georgia now
@@isaiahkayode6526 When Clemson beat UNC by 1 point , some SEC fans said that they didn't belong in the top 25! When Georgia lost to USC which UNC beat ,everyone is talking about how Georgia can still make the playoffs.It's ridiculous.
Actually, there is more Love and more Fair minded people on here than you'll find from E$PN or from the $ec Network.
Yes, many are Clueless about CLEMSON but theres also people here whom have given CLEMSON Credit. Way moreso on here than anywhere else.
@@williampavichevich5608 Can't really argue with that.
Lol chill y'all only been good for 4 years and only won two
clemson finally gets an Alabama/ohio state type sch and people lose it
oBioHaz Ohio state always plays 3 or more top 10 teams it’s not that easy lol
Clemson is about to prove all the haters wrong and make it back to the championship game just watch
The Journey They’re not haters if the hate is justified. Clemson hasn’t looked like a top four team this season, so it seems pretty justified to me
I don’t see it. I can see the current top 5 beating them.
Not this year Clemson not making the playoffs
@@jamalsmith6986 Clemson is at the same point they were this time last year. The statistics are almost the same. The defense is improving with every game. Trevor will be fine.
Robert Marshall keyword last year....Alabama and Oklahoma will be in the National championship.....Clemson not that team y’all won 2 lil National championship and think y’all that team cut it out
I hate how only the SEC is in the discussion for two teams in the CFP
When it comes to CFB Joel Klatt is better than all these clowns
I would typically agree with you. But he has this CLEMSON Thing All Wrong.
moral of the story, if you win the natty just schedule cupcake and you will still be in the college playoff.
@Hunter schedule good team out of conference instead of scheduling weak out of conference team. You can predict which team is good base on their consistent record of past years it's not that hard, and yes there are surprising team every years. Look a wisconsin, they are always consistently rank, could have schedule them.
@@toommylee3362 CLEMSON Has always scheduled SEC teams as OOC Games games.
Where have you been.?
CLEMSON Just got done with a HOME/HOME vs Texas A&M winning both of them.
CLEMSON Has scheduled Auburn 4 times this decade and gone 3 out of 4.
CLEMSON Beat Georgia in 2013 Take a Look at the fact CLEMSON Has beaten Bama for 2 TITLES, Beaten OU 2× in Bowls, As well as Ohio St 2×, as well as LSU In 2012 Peach Bowl. And beaten Notre Dame 2× this decade.
Name me a better resume after 8 years.
Paul hates Clemson more than I hate Alabama 🤦♂️
2019 Clemson is reminding a little of 2014 Florida State. Go undefeated, win a Title, possibly go undefeated again into playoffs, and lose terribly... That’s still a great run!
Hardly, 2014 Fsu had Close games with nearly Everyone.
CLEMSON step slow because they are still young, and it's hard to get up for such weak competition on a weekly basis.
His ears are massive. My god
These bears are massive
Paul is still butthurt that Clemson trail whipped his tide
That about sums it up.
DONT FORGET - CLEMSON BEAT THE OTHER 4 TEAMS IN THE TOP 5 - THE LAST TIME THEY FACED EACH OTHER - INCLUDING LSU.
It’s not about Clemson’s schedule. It’s about how they’ve performed against a subpar schedule.
One bad game which they still won.
Robert Marshall a very bad game against a very sub par team. If North Carolina had a decent 2 point play, Clemson’s season would be over.
It’s not just about winning - it’s about how you win. Clemson has not been impressive in one game Besides MAYBE Florida State.
When the end of the year comes I put my money on Clemson against any of the top 3. They have proven to destroy everyone when it comes to playoff time !
You will lose your money this year.
So incredibly unnecessary for Paul to bring up "wherever Clemson SC is ..however you get to Clemson, etc." What in the world does the location of Clemson have to do with this discussion? I bet if Paul spent one day on Lake Keowee he'd change his "Clemson is BFE" tune.
AMEN! Couldnt believe he can have the nerve to say that the way he did.
Shows you how Lazy his Knowledge or understanding or his approach is to his Job which any of us would Love to have.
Wow I can’t stand watching Paul Finebaum
i surprsised paul finebaum didnt reference how great Nick Saban was in this clip.
2:12 Listen to what Max say 😂
@Ethan Benjamin He said "You need to watch the show more often"
They barely beat UNC!? Did we forget about that game? UNC missed a 2pt attempt to beat them!? End of discussion
He believes a 1 loss Georgia team belongs but not the undefeated Champs?
Georgia is probably the most overrated college program in the country. I swear the past 20 years they are always ranked a top ten team then once Florida or Bama beats the breaks off them everyone says "look Bama finally played a good team".
@D.A.Y we don't disagree. But Michigan is usually unranked by the time osu gets to them
Paul just knows Clemson is Bamas daddy and doesn’t want them in the playoffs cuz he knows they will beat bama
They’ve beaten each other the same amount of times. This comment is so stupid
That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard a smart man say 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Paul talking like Alabama hasn't had a cupcake schedule this year....
That man Paul is a 🗣Clemson hater 😂😂😂💯
You realize they scraped past a terrible team and held basically steady with Louisville right? And by the way..Louisville isn’t the same Louisville without Lamar Jackson. They’re not good. So 1/3 of their games they’ve looked like trash
Just a hater mkay
Lowell Williams it took them an entire half to start scoring against LOUSIVILLE. And you’re proud of that? 😂😂😂 if you played in the big 10 or SEC you’d never get into the playoffs. What’s going to happen is Alabama and LSU will cannibalize each other, OSU and PSU will cannibalize each other and you guys will slide in because you beat a super impressive Louisville team in the second half and Wofford College
Lowell Williams and lets not forget your starting QB was in the entire game so that was absolutely the best you could do. OSU or Alabama would have had a 3rd string in by the 4th quarter.
Lowell Williams who is Clemson going to prove themselves against? 22 Wake Forest? Or when they only scored 24 points against Texas A&M. Alabama had 1 bad quarter this season. Different than sub par play against UNC for a whole half, Abysmal play against an okay UNC (which is on par with Duke), and very pedestrian play against A&M. No one said that against OSU. Everyone knew Clemson would win that so I don’t know where you’re getting that from. And Yeah, Clemson completely outplayed Alabama that game. Clemson was a complete team that game. But that was a completely different team than what’s been shown this season.
More Paul vs Steven A please.
5:35 the nastiest laugh I’ve ever heard
Migo Marcus make it a meme
Paul finebaum is very intelligent but i don't agree with him at all suppose if they go undefeated that means that they went 2 years without a lose and a national championship idgaf who you think is better this guy always talks about georgia all the time and sec. why should i think that clemson aint better then any of those teams when they have proven it and still dominate
We would be singing a whole different tune if they would have lost to North Carolina wouldn’t we
The coastal division that Carolina plays in is weak. If Carolina was in the Atlantic division they would have a tougher time.
joseph Howell Carolina is in the Atlantic coast division also what are saying .
@@chadmilligan7497 there are two different divisions in the acc the Atlantic division has better teams like Clemson, Florida state, and Louisville
Paul finebaum should replace Max
Kellerman on first take , closes thing to skip bayless ive seen ! Him and Stephen A is so different they would make an excellent pair !
First off Molly SHUT UP!!
Secondly, how does Clemson, Bama, Ohio State every year get away with easy scheduling. Bama plays LSU and that's "good enough" they can even lose that game and still make the playoffs... Doesn't make sense
Clemson plays texas am and South Carolina out of conference. Who else do you want them to play ?
you do know a lot of teams don't want to play bama right?
It sees 'Bama gets a free pass every year with their awful scheduling. It's patheic.
@@cutime6712 Texas A&M..? South Carolina..? How about some ranked teams in the top 10 during the season.
@@The_Dark_Skywalker Texas am was ranked during the season duh
I bet Finebaum wasn't saying the same thing about Bama this time last year when they were coming off their Natty win and hadn't played anybody yet.
Wow. GOOD going Stephen A....Paul...you need to take your SEC BLINDERS OFF...Its rather obvious...there are other teams out there...
Paul looks like an English teacher at my school lol
Stephen A knows nothing about college football
How when he is right if your win all games adding on top of the fact your the defending champion why shouldn't you get in
Does he know anything at all about any sport???
Clearly he does
Nick Robles No. They should be fairly considered just like the other teams. They shouldn’t be given an auto-bid.
Neither does Paul
If Alabama was the defending National Champs then Paul would be “they automatically deserve to be in!”.
I think Jalen Hurts should win the Hiesman as of now!!
@D.A.Y I'm a WVU fan so don't know what you talkin about he is the most impressive I have seen
@@weedyguitarstudio1715 I agree Wendy and I am a TN fan unfortunately.
@Jordan Kidman yeah that's a fact bro
Joe Burrow has been outplaying Hurts for 6 weeks now
who decided a scrawny old man like paul finebaum should be a professional analyst, has he ever played a down of football?
