Whoever said he just props up the SEC obviously doesn't watch CBS very much and is unaware of how much each fanbase hates him for comments he's made critical of their beloved alma mater.

He might nit-pick teams in the SEC but he mostly is just an SEC Honk. I'm not the first or only to comment on this over the years...Stewart Mandel at Sports Illustrated has complained about...(saying how many letters he gets); College Football News has complained; ESPN writers.

Oklahoman media columnist Mel Bracht wrote that Danielson was out of line. "At one time, I respected CBS analyst Gary Danielson. When he worked for ESPN/ABC, he gave the Big 12 its due. Since joining CBS, he has gotten on the SEC bandwagon to the point of making some ludicrous comments about the Big 12 and other conferences."

"But critics — there are many — say Danielson is a shill for the SEC.

In 2006, he openly lobbied with broadcast partner Verne Lundquist for one-loss Florida to get a spot in the Bowl Championship Series title game."

Broadcasters should not be in the business of lobbying regardless of the circumstances.
