Danny Kanell updates his top 8 rankings, goes on yet another lengthy anti-SEC rant

Danny Kanell is one of the most vocal critics of the SEC. While the former Florida State QB and current analyst does at least consider Alabama the top team in the country, he’s down on everyone else in the conference.
On Sunday, he released his weekly top 8 rankings, and had the Crimson Tide at No. 1. However, strong teams like Georgia and LSU were nowhere to be found.
Here’s how Kanell has the top 8 shaking out following Week 10’s action:
Zero change in the top 4 of my #DKtop8 because I use common sense.
1. Bama
2. Clemson3. Notre Dame
4. Michigan
5. West Va
6. Oklahoma
7. Washington St
8. UCF— Danny Kanell (@dannykanell) November 4, 2018
After releasing those rankings, Kanell went on another one of his trademark anti-SEC rants, pointing out that LSU may have been overrated, as well as Kentucky and Florida:
It’s almost like LSU shouldn’t have been ranked #3 ???

But just so we’re clear…Kentucky and Florida TOTALLY deserves their #9 and #11 spots ???

So pretty much what we’ve learned is:
Bama is awesome. Georgia pretty good. The rest of conference looks just like every other Power 5: inconsistent and unpredictable.
Same story. Different year.

And I’m going to say it every week until everyone realizes it’s true:
Clemson is just as strong as Bama.

But the icing on the cake may have been when he said that NC State (a team that has losses to Clemson and Syracuse in two of their last three games) would destroy Kentucky:
When they were undefeated?? Correct. For the record…NC State would destroy Kentucky. https://t.co/ViWCuqwUjK

If the perceived “SEC bias” continues in the rankings, Kanell’s head may explode before the end of the season.
