Paul Finebaum named his College Football Playoff picks following Week 1 action Sunday.

He started with a team that nobody has yet seen in action, Clemson, followed by Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State. He filed Oklahoma away for later in the season.

He briefly detailed his decision to pick the Buckeyes for the No. 3 spot, stating they still have a lot of work to do after downing Notre Dame:

“They underwhelmed, but they’re still in pretty good shape.,” Finebaum said.

That’s an interesting statement from Finebaum considering he said he was most impressed with Notre Dame over the weekend at the beginning of the segment. He obviously felt the Buckeyes were going to stomp the Irish, but instead left Ohio Stadium with a 21-10 victory.

Are Finebaum’s predictions accurate?
