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!!

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.
