There are a number of elite teams in college football this year, with a few of them residing in the SEC.
LSU is No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings, while Georgia is No. 4 and Alabama is No. 5, but that’s not how former Florida State QB-turned-analyst Danny Kanell sees things.
In his updated top 8 rankings, he has LSU down at No. 3, with Georgia at No. 7 and Alabama out of the top 8 altogether:

Why no Alabama? Most likely, he thinks they’re not a top 8 team without QB Tua Tagovailoa, but the Tide will likely remain in the top 6 of the Playoff rankings this week.
How will the rankings change moving forward? We’ll find out in the weeks to come.
