Every week, former Florida State QB and current CBS analyst Danny Kanell puts together a list of his top 8 teams.
This week, Kanell’s first list raised some eyebrows, and not only because it had Coastal Carolina at No. 8 after a huge win over BYU.
As you can see below, his first attempt at the rankings omitted a certain undefeated Ohio State team:
Naturally, Kanell was called out on that pretty quickly. And, being a good sport, he admitted that he simply forgot the Buckeyes in his first go-round, but had some fun with it, too:
So do I admit I forgot the Buckeyes or make up some requirement that my Top 8 requires 6 games played?

Eventually, he settled on this for his top 8 (not that Ohio State fans will be any happier being ranked No. 5 behind Cincinnati):
