Alabama and Tennessee have both lost the benefit of the doubt the way they have played the last two weeks, SEC Network analyst Paul Finebaum said Saturday.

One of the most known voices in SEC football today has officially made his prediction for the Week 8 matchup between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Tennessee Volunteers, as ESPN's Paul Finebaum revealed his official pick Saturday morning.

With both teams already owning a loss entering Saturday's showdown in Knoxville, it's clear that the Week 8 game between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Tennessee Volunteers is a massive one for both teams,

"SEC Nation" and "Marty & McGee" are returning to broadcast from Ayres Hall for the top-10 matchup between Tennessee football and Alabama on Saturday.

Paul Finebaum believes Week 8's rivalry showdown between Alabama and Tennessee will eliminate the loser from CFP contention.

Alabama's situation isn't getting any easier as the Crimson Tide heads to Knoxville to face the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday. Tennessee's offense has struggled in the last two games, averaging just 18.5 points per game after averaging 54 points the previous four games.
