With SEC Media Days starting Monday, members of the college football media will be making their picks for which team wins each division and ultimately the conference championship game in Atlanta.

Paul Finebaum decided to announce his picks before the fun in Hoover, Ala. gets started during a Sunday appearance on SportsCenter. Finebaum is thinking Florida and Alabama will meet for the third-straight year in December. He also thinks Nick Saban will make it three in a row over his former offensive coordinator, Florida coach Jim McElwain.

Listeners and viewers of “The Paul Finebaum Show” know that the host has publicly gone back and forth between Florida and Georgia for winning the SEC East. Pressed to make a pick, Finebaum sided with the defending SEC East champions.

“The East is really the only challenge, and you go back and forth between Georgia and Florida,” he said. “I’m not sure that Jacob Eason at quarterback makes Georgia quite ready. Now, you say what about Florida with Feleipe Franks and Malik Zaire. But I think overall, Florida has the best schedule. They have five SEC games at home, thanks to the debacle last year with LSU.”

When it came to picking the SEC West, Finebaum said it was quite obvious.

“Is that a fair question? Alabama will definitely come out of the West, and I like Alabama — surprise, surprise — to win the SEC.”
