Danielson: OU should have been left out of playoff, I give them a 20% chance to beat Bama

Danielson explained who would have been his top four teams for the College Football Playoff. Alabama (13-0), Clemson (13-0), Notre Dame (12-0) and Oklahoma (12-1) will play for the trophy, while Georgia (11-2) finished No. 5. Big Ten champion Ohio State (12-1) was sixth in the final rankings.
"I was tweaking the committee when I said, 'You set up this word best and now you have to live with it.' And Georgia proved playing against Alabama that they were one of the four best. But deep down, I don't believe that's how it should be approached. Because they really don't know who the best teams are. I've been warning all along, I came in the (SEC) in 2006, when all of the experts, everybody at ESPN, were telling the SEC that the two best teams were Michigan and Ohio State. And I, during that game, said, 'How do you know for sure?' So Florida won the (national) championship (over Ohio State), because they earned the right to play in the game. And I've felt that way all along."
Oklahoma would have been out of the playoff if it was up to Danielson.
"I would have put Georgia three and Notre Dame fourth," Danielson said. "I'm 100 percent sure that Oklahoma has a 20 percent chance to beat Alabama. Here's another thing I'm sure of, anybody can beat anybody in one game we know that. That's the way football is, but I've seen these spread and finesse teams come in the SEC and they all say the same thing after two or three years. 'Oh we can beat them in one game, but what we can't do is sustain it in a week to week to week playing that style. All these coaches come in with the spread, and they leave with tight ends and fullbacks after they leave. Because they know you have to control the line of scrimmage. They all tell me the same thing.
"So Oklahoma, (in the Big 12), a league that has not as many defensive players, (the Big 12) doesn't have as many NFL defensive players as Alabama does. And you can finesse Alabama or Georgia for one game, but you can't come in the (SEC) week in and week out and beat Texas A&M and LSU and Alabama and Georgia over an eight-week schedule. It's not going to happen."

Well ND has a 1% chance, so maybe we should have left them out too

Well of course. OU terrifies Bama fans aka Danielson
That’s why they begged for ND

He's an insufferable a-hole, but he's not wrong.

Lulz. No mention of the current bottom feeders and/or flash in the pans.

It is as if Danielson is paid to promote SEC teams.

this is such garbage. Now he’s made the “anything in one game” excuse if Oklahoma wins
This Georgia whiny shite is beyond annoying now. It’s like the Florida LSU hurricane thing
My god. Ohio state could beat any of these teams but they aren’t whining about it because they knew they lost.
Georgia. You lost. Twice. Give it a rest

Explain Herbstreit saying basically the same thing. That was a shocker. He usually anti-UGA.

Yes he does. He's very good at quarterbacking and had a nice year.
Not sure what that has to do with the other question. Maybe you just saw "football" while moseying over to KenPom somewhere and took a stab?

Any Tumblr posts containing both Saban and Danielson are flagged.

Yea, I'm sure Kirk Herbstreit bases his opinions on which CFB programs he is pro and anti.

Other question?
Did you ask me a question?
You said tell me more. So I thought I’d give you a fact.

Kyler Murray winning the Heisman means we are scared to play Oklahoma? They have the #103rd best defense in the country.
Why would I be scared of that? Good team, should be a good ballgame.

He fought hard but his mobility, improvisation and accuracy are his strengths. With a bum left ankle and less than 100% knee, none of those were there... and when they were WR/TE drops plagued progress. It's a credit to Bama it was only a one score game when Jalen got the call.

Nope. I stated OU terrifies Bama. You said tell you more.
I told you more.

WTF does this mean? Engrish Gary!
"I am 100% sure that Arkansas has a 2.34% chance to beat Alabama next season"
What. The. Hell.
