Are you ready for the most shocking news of the week? Paul Finebaum thinks three SEC programs are College Football Playoff worthy right now.

Can you believe it? Oh, you can? Cool.

On Sunday morning, doing his usual appearance on SportsCenter following a college football Saturday, Finebaum was asked to give his top four teams after Week 3 of the season. Right now, he has three SEC teams in his top four, with Clemson being the fourth team in the picture.

Here’s Finebaum’s top four:

  1. Clemson Tigers
  2. Alabama Crimson Tide
  3. Georgia Bulldogs
  4. LSU Tigers

So, forget what Ohio State has done through the first three weeks of the season, clearly those three SEC teams have done more.

Finebaum did give the Buckeyes some credit, keeping them and Oklahoma in the No. 5 and No. 6 spots. He also said Wisconsin was a team to keep an eye on for the rest of the season. The Badgers have a big showdown with Michigan coming up next Saturday.

It’s an interesting top four from the SEC Network host to say the least. Well, actually, no it’s not.
