WHOOPS: Paul Finebaum Mistakenly Picks OU (?) to Beat Boise State, not OSU

Paul Finebaum is picking the Sooners on Saturday.

Which is great. Only problem is, he’s picking them to take down Boise State. He didn’t realize — like, at all — that it’s Oklahoma State that’s facing Boise.

“I have Oklahoma!” said Finebaum confidently. “And by the way, give them credit, they’re playing a pretty good schedule. Boise is one of the best of that group … I like everything about this Oklahoma team. I’m worried about them losing Rodney Anderson, but Kyler Murray, is he in the Heisman race already?”

Oh man @finebaum just went in to detail on how Oklahoma is going to beat Boise today. Problem is Oklahoma St (not Oklahoma) plays Boise today #drinkmorecoffee pic.twitter.com/nTaSSqK39f

Shout out to the ESPN anchor who immediately executed an about-face after realizing what Finebaum did.

The Sooners, for their part, play at 11 a.m. Saturday against Iowa State. OSU kicks at 2:30 in Stillwater against Boise.
