Former ESPN analyst Danny Kanell takes another swing at SEC, claims UCF would beat Mississippi State

Danny Kanell, a former ESPN personality, isn’t a fan of the SEC. In other news, the sky is blue.

Kanell took to Twitter on Wednesday to display his latest displeasure with how much respect the College Football Playoff committee has for the SEC.

Take a look at his tweet comparing Mississippi State and UCF.

That last one stating “UCF would beat Miss State if they played” was particularly entertaining, as we didn’t realize that Kanell was able to predict such things. He has shown an inspiring ability to sell opinions as facts, so maybe we shouldn’t be surprised.

The Bulldogs have shortcomings at several positions, but they are a team that includes star players such as Nick Fitzgerald, Martinas Rankin and Jeffery Simmons.

Would it be a good game? Absolutely, but saying that State would lose is a serious stretch. There is one important question that would need to be answered, however. Would Mississippi State be playing at home or away? They’ve proven to be two completed separate teams on the road as opposed to playing in front of the cowbells in Starkville.
