Alabama won the game of the year so far to become the No. 1 team in the nation. That’s where they should now remain too based on what they’ve shown to Paul Finebaum. Finebaum applauded the Crimson Tide during ‘The Matt Barrie Show’ on Sunday.

Paul Finebaum is extremely impressed with what he saw from Colorado in Week 5. The Buffs were 2-touchdown underdogs on the road at UCF on Saturday, but they cruised to a 48-21 win over the Golden Knights. Shedeur Sanders threw for 290 yards and 3 touchdowns while Travis Hunter continued his elite play on both sides of the ball.

But as Paul Finebaum reminded viewers on SEC Nation Saturday, not many people had much success against Nick Saban’s Alabama program. With Saban retired and Kalen DeBoer now coaching the Crimson Tide, Smart has a chance to reverse that trend.
