Danny Kanell's updated top 8 rankings include 1 notable SEC omission
The Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs played one of the best games of the 2020 football season on Saturday night, but a big second half helped the Crimson Tide pull away for a 41-24 victory.
So, it appears Alabama is the class of the SEC, and 1 of the top 2 teams in the country alongside Clemson.
On Sunday morning, former FSU QB-turned-analyst Danny Kanell released his top 8 rankings, and Clemson and Alabama were indeed the top 2 teams. He also had Florida at No. 7.
But, as you can see below, the Bulldogs were noticeably absent from the list:
What a great college football season it’s been so far. It’s only going to get better. Welcome back Big Ten!!
Brand new #DKtop8
1. Clemson
2. Bama
3. Ohio State
4. Notre Dame
5. Penn State
6. Oklahoma St
7. Florida
8. BYU— Danny Kanell (@dannykanell) October 18, 2020
The Bulldogs held a halftime lead over the No. 2 team in the country, but can’t crack the top 8? That seems strange, especially when Florida was off this week and most recently lost at Texas A&M.
Can Georgia fight its way back into the top 8? We’ll find out next Sunday when Kanell updates his rankings once again.
Eventually Kanell will figure out that Notre Dame is not a top-5 team.
Also, I cannot believe under any circumstances that Florida is better than Georgia is right now. We’ll know for sure on 11/7.
Agreed. At this time UGA is better imo. I’d also take UF and UGA over Notre Dame
Notre Dame plays no one and barely beats unranked Loisville at home and they remain at 4? What a joke. If UF beats unranked Lousivile at home 12-6, UF drops 5 spots.
Still sticking with ND? I dont get it. And I dont really see Florida stopping Georgia. Not sure it will even be close.
More proof of Kantnell’s football ignorance! Does he think Louisville SUDDENLY became a top notch team? I know that sometimes a team will have a difficult game against certain offenses (see Al/LSU), but we’re talking about Louisville keeping ND in check at their home stadium! No way are they a top four team – surprised he didn’t have 5-0 Liberty University in there considering their “thrashing” of Syracuse!
Kanell = Clown
