Audibles with CBS Sports' Lead College Analyst Gary Danielson  

(On BCS and Big Ten): Because of what happened to USC, it's a slap in the face to the rest of the BCS conferences if the Big Ten sends their number two team to the Championship. The Big Ten is saying that our number two team is better than all the other conferences' champion...There should be a rule that a second place team in a conference can't go to the national championship. For some reason they don't want to buy that. There is no better reason for that being the case then in the SEC. It's really difficult to get through this conference undefeated...I just don't understand how the so-called experts and protectors of college football could advocate that someone's second place team should get in the championship. I don't get it at all.  

(On Tennessee): If Erik Ainge was a running back or a wide receiver I would be a little nervous about his injury. He's not a running quarterback or a sprint out quarterback. It won't be a big factor in the game... Ainge and those receivers are awfully good. Ainge is pretty dependable. He might not do it every quarter, but you could almost count that every game he'll come through for you...This game features the best rush team (LSU) in the SEC sacking the quarterback against the team that does the best job protecting the quarterback (Tennessee). That will be the game...

...There is not a team in the country that is as well coached as Tennessee is with their protection schemes and how they change up their pass protection. David Cutcliffe really stresses changing up their packages of how they protect their quarterback so the defensive coaches won't know exactly how they are going to pass block on every play. It makes it a guessing game for LSU. They will not have an easy path to Ainge.

(On LSU): JaMarcus Russell looks like the second coming of Warren Moon, sometimes. On then other hand, then you wonder if he is the guy that is going to be able to lead this team to a championship. He has to come through on the road.  In his two road games he didn't do anything against Auburn and against Florida he has three interceptions....We just don't know anything about LSU. Do they just beat up on bad teams or do they have the worst luck in scheduling ever. They play four really good teams this year and all four of them are on the road, Auburn, Florida, Tennessee and Arkansas.  It's unfortunate for them. The eight teams they play at home they could beat anywhere. Their schedule has not worked in their favor. Now they have to go to Tennessee. They have either beaten up on teams or lost. I haven't seen one like that in awhile.
