WATCH: CBS Sports’ Danny Kanell sings praises of Ohio State wide receivers

Can you name a wide receiver corps that will be better than what Ohio State will have in 2022? #GoBucks

Over the last few years, THE Ohio State football program has become THE destination for wide receivers. Ever since Brian Hartline took the keys to the wide receiver room, he has recruited at a high level and developed guys that make it to the next level. Each year, it seems to be rinse and repeat as well.

As we get ready to kick off the 2022 college football season, it’s looking like the Buckeyes will have one of the best receiving groups in college football again despite losing two guys to the first round of the NFL draft.

Count CBS Sports’ Danny Kanell as a believer. He sang the praises of the Ohio State receivers on a segment on CBS Sports Network, singling out not just Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but Marvin Harrison Jr, Julian Fleming, and Emeka Egbuka.

Oh, and he had some fantastic things to say about Hartline as well.

Kanell isn’t alone in this thought. Many websites and publications believe that the OSU offense will be the best in the country again, and a lot of it has to do with the talented wide receivers Heisman hopeful C.J. Stroud will be throwing the ball to.

National analyst sees Clemson as ‘vulnerable’

Although Clemson’s streak of six straight ACC Championships and six consecutive College Football Playoff appearances came to an end this season, a national college football analyst isn’t writing off Dabo Swinney’s program just yet.

CBS Sports analyst Danny Kanell, who recently joined the Gramlich and Mac Lain podcast with Kelly Gramlich and Eric Mac Lain, isn’t ready to say that Clemson’s reign of dominance in the ACC is over after one relatively down season.

“But I am curious to see what direction he goes in, what happens with these coordinator hires and developing DJ (Uiagalelei),” Kanell said. “So, I get the question marks and I get the concern. But I’m not going to be one that’s saying, right now, ‘Oh, this is the end.’ And guess what else is still there – a lot of talent. So, I don’t think Clemson’s going anywhere anytime yet.”

However, Kanell added that he thinks the Tigers appear “vulnerable” right now, at least to other teams in the conference.

“If I’m another school in the ACC, you’re thinking ‘vulnerable,’” Kanell said. “I think it’s a vulnerability that they haven’t been in, and I think you see it as an opportunity. Let’s freshen up the offense. The defense has still been strong, but let’s see what else we got out there. Then that might be a scary thought for everybody in the ACC.”

National analyst calls out ‘incompetent’ CFP committee for Clemson being unranked

A national analyst took to social media and called out the College Football Playoff selection committee after its latest rankings were unveiled Tuesday night.

CBS Sports college football analyst Danny Kanell took exception to Clemson (7-3, 5-2 ACC) being unranked, with Mississippi State (6-4, 4-3 SEC) being ranked No. 25.

Kanell pointed out that one of the Bulldogs’ losses came at the hands of what is now a 5-5 Memphis team back on Sept. 18, while the Tigers’ three losses came to Georgia, Pittsburgh and NC State — teams that are currently ranked No. 1, No. 18 and No. 20 in the CFP rankings, respectively.

“This committee and this process proves itself over and over to be the absolute worst way to determine a champ. #incompetent,” Kanell wrote in a post on Twitter.

Clemson returns to action Saturday at Death Valley against Wake Forest (9-1, 6-0 ACC), which is now ranked No. 10 in the CFP rankings.
