Paul Finebaum explains CFP ramifications for winner of The Game

Paul Finebaum went on ESPN’s “Get Up” to talk about the teams that could hang with Georgia in the College Football Playoff. He gave his prediction for the team that could take down the Bulldogs.

Finebaum thinks that whoever wins The Game on Saturday will be the only team in the Playoff that could beat Georgia.

“I think what it really shows is this is about the only school that could beat Georgia, and I’m talking about the winner of Michigan-Ohio State. TCU, I know we had out fun with them last week. They’re a very good team. If they get in the Playoff, congratulations, they’ll still lose by 3 or 4 touchowns in the semifinals. And Southern Cal has had a phenomenal season, but I don’t think their defense can stand up to Georgia or Ohio State/Michigan. I think we’re really talking about 2 schools remaining in my mind that could possibly win the national championship.”

Ohio State first won the Playoff in the competition’s first year back in 2014. Since then Alabama has won three times while Clemson has won it twice. LSU won back in 2019, while Georgia is the defending national champion from last season.
