ESPN's Paul Finebaum has always been one of the biggest cheerleaders for the SEC, and that hasn't changed heading into the new season after his latest issuance proclaiming the southern conference the best in the country.

However, the popular SEC radio personality went one step further when he stated that he would actually leave the United States if a team from another conference wins the College Football Playoff.

This came during a hilarious tirade that Finebaum went on where he talked down on the Big Ten, and claimed that "they act like they invented football." The longtime radio host has always had a fun relationship with Big Ten fans and created significant banter to rile up the conference's fanbases.
