Paul Finebaum has never been shy about criticizing Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh.

Whether it’s for his off-the-field antics/comments or his inability to beat Ohio State, Harbaugh has taken plenty of heat from the SEC Network host over the years.

On Wednesday’s edition of “Get Up!” on ESPN, Finebaum was at it again. This time, Finebaum said Harbaugh is “incapable” of beating Ohio State:

“No, no, no,” Finebaum replies when host Mike Greenberg asks if this is the year Harbaugh finally beats Ohio State. “Greeny, you can ask me this question until I’m 150 and the answer is still no. I don’t think this Michigan team, although they are better than they have been, significantly better, can beat Ohio State. This is a really good, if not great, Ohio State team.

“And I think there’s something in Jim Harbaugh’s brain. I don’t know what it is, I don’t really want to know. He is incapable — incapable, Greeny — of beating his biggest rival.”

Can the Wolverines put themselves in Playoff position with a win on Saturday? Or, will the Buckeyes keep their dominance over their rivals going? We know who Finebaum thinks will win, at least! Tune in to FOX at noon Eastern time on Saturday to find out if he’s right.
