How many times over the last decade (or more) have we heard about how much better the SEC is at football than every other conference in the nation? It’s probably too many to count.
Monday night’s 44-16 drubbing of Alabama by Clemson in the National Championship game and Georgia’s beatdown at the hands of Texas in the Cotton Bowl was some sweet vindication for fans of pretty much every other conference in college football.
It was also, apparently, sweet vinidication for CBS Sports college football analyst Danny Kanell, who spent most of the National Championship game, and then some, vociferously piling on the SEC on Twitter.
During the course of his ranting, Kanell, who, for the record, competed in the ACC at Florida State, made some great points about how mediocre the SEC was this year in bowls, went off the rails a few times, and as of two hours ago was still chirping about how overrated Alabama was this season.
In fairness, he did warn all the SEC fans who follow him that it was coming.
SEC fans should prob just block me now….

Amazing what happens when SEC teams face decent QB's
— Danny Kanell (@dannykanell) January 8, 2019
And heeeere we go.
So the SEC's two best teams get blown away in their bowl games.
The conference was 6-6 in bowl season.
And yet all I heard was how the SEC was "head and shoulders" above all else. Smh.
Don't believe the hype because that's all it is.— Danny Kanell (@dannykanell) January 8, 2019

Just in case any SEC fans were still following him…

Then he began personally trolling those who doubted him earlier in the season.

say what now??
— Danny Kanell (@dannykanell) January 8, 2019
I don't think Alabama's defense can stop Clemson's offense
— Danny Kanell (@dannykanell) January 8, 2019
yep

At the beginning of the year I picked Clemson to win the national title but only if Trevor Lawrence played QB. Now you know why….
— Danny Kanell (@dannykanell) January 8, 2019
Yeah but we’re not celebrating. Tell her I said what’s up
— Danny Kanell (@dannykanell) January 8, 2019
If people weren't so busy worshipping Bama all season long you wouldn't have been so surprised by last night https://t.co/NhB1kmH5VO

So wrong.
And who knew Danny Kanell was such an entertaining Twitter follow?
