Well, it’s free speech after all. And you can’t rush greatness. Therefore, Danny Kanell’s recent college football playoff bracket prediction is sending shockwaves through the school world if the season ends TODAY. Leave it to us to bring you the latest tea, and this one might be too hot for some dwelling around the southeastern side of the nation. He better have some solid evidence for it.

On CBS Sports HQ, the former Florida State signal-caller Danny Kanell shook things twice. This guy surely has no mercy for Bama after their recent let-down performances, as he stated, “No Alabama. They don’t deserve to be on there. They are done.” And then, sending the second tremor to Athens by favoring the Oregon Ducks over Georgia Bulldogs (6-1) in the semifinal. To break it down according to DK, the Bulldogs won’t reach the natty. Surprised? You’re not alone. When asked why the Ducks look the best? He dropped the mic with this,“A lot has to do with Dylan Gabriel the most experienced quarterback in the country about bringing home the title.”

He predicts No. 7 Clemson to reach the final ahead of the SEC giants with the Big 10 leaders in Oregon taking it home. Kanell’s confident pick centers around the Ducks’ resilience this season, an impressive offense under head coach Dan Lanning, and quarterback Dylan Gabriel’s impact on the field. Reason? Oregon (8-0) with their defensive prowess, combined with Dan Lanning’s smart and versatile offense, could tip the scales in their favor.

No denying that the Ducks QB has been clutched in marquee games, showcasing a mix of maturity and on-field awareness. Not to underestimate Georgia’s heavy-hitting offense of their own.

There could be more reasons for Danny Kanell to lean towards Oregon. One such could be Dan Lanning, who formerly served as Georgia’s defensive coordinator. He knows them inside out and has instilled a tough, aggressive defensive scheme that is tailor made to counter powerhouses like the Bulldogs. But not so fast. To reach the natty they gotta be the conference champions first.

Amidst the predictions, Oregon Ducks’ path to championships won’t be easy

Although it is undeniable at this point, their path to a championship is no walk in the park. The Ducks are on a collision course with Big Ten giants, with matchups against powerhouses like Ohio State, Penn State, and Indiana still on the docket. They have all the momentum in the world.

But they also have company at the top of the Big Ten standings. Oregon is tied with Indiana and Penn State for first place in the conference, all undefeated. And outside of the conference as per Danny Kanell too, Georgia is a big potential matchup. They have been the most dominant team in CFB over the last three seasons. Kirby Smart’s team has beaten every opponent in front of them, not named Alabama.

In the ever-competitive college football landscape – Georgia prediction is bold, maybe even audacious, but it’s not without reason. With Oregon firing on all cylinders and Gabriel proving to be a consistent force, they might even do it.
