Paul Finebaum believes Texas will win its first-ever SEC title in 2026.
Finebaum expressed that opinion — and overall optimism in Steve Sarkisian — during a guest appearance with Crain & Cone this week.
“I know it’s easy to say and we all say it, but I do think this is Sarkisian’s year,” Finebaum said when asked if he would “buy or sell” Georgia as the SEC’s 2026 champs.
Here’s a clip of Finebaum’s comments:
