College football analyst and former Florida State quarterback Danny Kanell released his top 8 teams Sunday morning on Twitter, as he does each week.
As the 2021 season has progressed, the list has gotten curious to say the least.
After Week 8, Kanell does have Georgia at No. 1, which everyone would agree with. But after that, there’s plenty to debate when it comes to Kanell’s take.
He has Michigan, which has yet to play a ranked team, at No. 2, followed by Cincinnati and Oklahoma at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively.
Rounding out the top 8 are Michigan State at No. 5, Wake Forest at No. 6, Oregon at No. 7, and Ohio State at No. 8.
For the 2nd consecutive week, Alabama, considered by most observers to be the 2nd best team in the nation, was nowhere to be found.
Not surprisingly, college football fans were quick to blast Kanell for his latest top-8.
Here’s a look at some of the reaction, including Kanell being trolled by SEC Network analyst Peter Burns:
PUT UTSA IN THERE YOU COWARD

Don’t fall for Danny’s trolling folks. He knows this isn’t the top 8 teams. Danny wouldn’t place a quarter on teams 2-7 straight up over Alabama. I will give Danny credit tho for staying in character all the time on twitter.

Why the hate for Bama? They would beat every team except Georgia on your list by 2 TDs on the road.

Looks like a DK 8 Team playoff would have the worst ratings in television history. Thank you DK for putting together this awesome list

Danny is desperate for attention again.

This is why Danny is known more as a troll than a voice of reason in college football. I have to admit I laugh at the majority of his takes…

Your list is evidence as to why you are irrelevant.

Another Sunday morning, another troll ranking.
