Former Florida State quarterback and CBS broadcaster, Danny Kanell criticized the college football bowl season as “broken” after his alma mater’s 60-point loss to Georgia in the Orange Bowl.
Kanell also dismissed the FSU vs Georgia game as a “glorified scrimmage.” Georgia won the game by a landslide score of 63-3, scoring 35 points in the second quarter alone.
Reportedly, Florida State was missing 25 players, including 14 starters, from the ACC Championship game about a month ago.
“This game is a joke, right? And yet, this was so predictable that there were going to be takes like this from the idiots out there trying to crow and act like they’re pounding their chest and saying, ‘See? This means the committee got it right.’”
“Man, the idiocy is on full display. This game means nothing; this is basically a glorified scrimmage taking place, which is essentially all of bowl season has become scrimmages,” said Kanell.
The Noles finished the season with a 13-1 record, but missed out on the College Football Playoff. They were ranked No. 4 in the final AP poll, behind Georgia, Alabama, and Ohio State, but were ranked No. 5 in the final CFP rankings.

Danny Kanell criticizes the flaws in the college football system
Danny Kanell is upset with the college football bowl season, especially after his old school's landslide defeat.
In the last part of his X video, he added that the current system is not good and suggested a fix. He wants to make the first week of the season like bowl week, where all teams participate and the games are important.
"Save your takes. Bowl season is broken, there's only one way to fix them. It's really to make Week 0 bowl week, said Kanell. “You'll get full participation; the games will matter and we can have a solution. Everybody will play.”
