Why does he have Storm Klein as the starting MLB? I thought Curtis Grant was starting.
He is, it was a mistake.
These are all written up way before the two-deep comes out, and then gets finalized. These things are usually not entirely accurate when it comes down to fine details
Also, if you look at the whole list, it's utterly horrible
What does Phil Steele know about football? He sounds like he starred in that porno filmed at the Coliseum.
"Phil Steele (born c. 1960) is an American sportswriter and analyst who focuses exclusively on college and professional football.[1] He currently writes a column for the Orlando Sentinel,[2] and is considered a "highly respected prognosticator" within the sports media.[3] His company, Phil Steele Publications, produces the annual preseason magazine Phil Steele's College Football Preview, which he personally writes in almost its entirety.[4] The first edition was published in 1995.[5] In a comparison of the major preseason college football magazines, ESPN writer Pat Forde said:
All the mags have their merits . . . But Phil Steele owns the genre . . . The 46-year-old uses a cookie-cutter layout for every team, and his writing will never be nominated for a Pulitzer. But he does author every two-page team preview himself, and he crams stats, facts and figures into every nook and cranny.[1]
The magazine was similarly praised by the News & Observer and Rivals.com.[6][7] Chris Stassen, owner of football.stassen.com, has tracked the preseason magazines' accuracy since 1993 and rates Phil Steele's as the most accurate in its predictions.[8][9]
Steele has been a member of the All-America, John Mackey Award, Davey O'Brien Award, Lombardi Award, and the Ted Hendricks Award voting committees.[10][11]"
Well, he's a native son of Ohio, so that automatically means he knows more about football than most people.
And then, there's this.
My apologies to Phil The Man Of Steele.
Also I'd like to extend my apologies for sounding like Chris "Back Back Back" Berman, Im sure thats the nickname he would've given him:)
All of that aside, is no one else going to question that he put UCF at number 15 on the list?
Steele is know for going against the grain in his rankings, and he has a great track record in doing so. I find them much more interesting than a list of blue chip schools.
Hey, he's usually bullish on the buckeyes when he believes we're going to be good....I'll take it!
All that matters is where the Buckeyes are ranked at the end of the season! I always enjoy Phils college previews though, the best value of any of the other preview books!
Pay It Forward!
