Danny Kanell's updated top 8 rankings feature 2 SEC squads
The SEC just finished up Week 5 with a 4-game slate, as Georgia, Florida, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Texas A&M took the weekend off.
The big thing we learned? Alabama is still really, really good after putting a 48-17 beatdown on Tennessee in Knoxville.
On Sunday morning, analyst Danny Kanell took to Twitter to rank his top 8 teams. As you can see below, he has 2 SEC teams in the rankings, including Alabama at No. 1 and Florida at No. 6:
Little bit of movement in the #DKtop8 this week…
1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. Ohio State
4. Notre Dame
5. Oregon
6. Florida
7. Oklahoma State
8. Cincinnati— Danny Kanell (@dannykanell) October 25, 2020
The Gators are 2-1 and haven’t played in 2 weeks, so their inclusion is a bit of a surprise, but they’ll have a chance to earn there spot this coming weekend when they host Mizzou.
Will Georgia or another SEC team move up into the top 8 for Kanell? We’ll find out next Sunday.
I have no problem with people wanting to rank Florida over Georgia because that game is coming and it will resolve itself. But why would he have UF over Texas AM? It just doesn’t make sense to me.
Agree with your first statement. as for your 2nd statement, it’s danny kannell. he has a proven track record of having some unexplainable takes, rankings, etc.
The Gators are diseased and idle for two weeks. They have no business being on this list.
After the past couple weeks, I feel like Bama has earned the top spot in the rankings for now. Beating Georgia and TA&M, the AP Poll’s #5 and #8 teams, we have beaten more top ten teams than the rest of the top ten combined. And we’ve won all our games by two scores or more.I think that proves that for now, Bama should be on top until proven otherwise.
