Danny Kanell watched Week 5 college football action across the country and, as he does every Sunday, he’s updated his top 12 team rankings.

The former Florida State quarterback turned CFB analyst can’t help but take a shot at the SEC, even when he ranks Georgia No. 1.

As you can see below, he added (legacy) to Georgia’s ranking after the Bulldogs’ narrow escape at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Bulldogs were the only SEC team in Kanell’s top 12:

Georgia is followed by Texas, Florida State, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Oregon, Washington, North Carolina, USC, Miami and Oklahoma in Kanell’s top 12 rankings.

Can the Bulldogs take down Kentucky to further solidify their No. 1 spot next weekend? Will Mizzou earn some respect if it beats LSU on Saturday at Faurot Field? We’ll see what Week 6 holds and how it impacts Kanell’s rankings next Sunday.

The SEC season continues to be a topsy turvy one, so buckle up!
