Paul Finebaum of the SEC Network is no longer convinced that the Southeastern Conference is the best conference in college football.
“Right now, repeat after me, read my lips: The Big Ten is the best conference in college football,” Finebaum said during a recent appearance on ESPN’s College Football Live.

“Right now, repeat after me, read my lips: The Big Ten is the best conference in college football,” Finebaum said during a Monday appearance on ESPN’s College Football Live.
Understand that Finebaum’s making such a statement carries a certain level of gravitas in the college football world.
An observer of the SEC since his time as an Alabama football columnist in the early 1980s, Finebaum has become synonymous with the conference. One of the central figureheads on ESPN’s SEC Network, Finebaum has been hesitant to praise the Big Ten in the past—at least with the same enthusiasm he exudes while touting his home turf.
“I think you know where I live and what waters I swim in,” Finebaum said moments prior to making his pro-Big Ten proclamation.
But sometimes, as Finebaum conceded, facts are too much to overcome.
Do you agree or disagree?
