I love it when he writes something in all caps for emphasis, I dunno why.

Also, Texas A&M at 30? That seems a bit high to me.

Re: Phil Steele's 2012 Top 40
Phil's mag is great. I love all of his raw data. He has some pretty good insight and some decent formulas to predict teams on the rise and decline. If you're a numbers geek it's a great publication. He still has some decent write-ups, but it's not the visual layout and easy read of an Athlon. I highly recommend it for the college football junkie in all of us.

Re: Phil Steele's 2012 Top 40
Trojans are going to be way overrated this year. USC will be good, but I just don't see how they're top 3 or 4 good.

Re: Phil Steele's 2012 Top 40
Steele tends to take more time in his magazine highlighting his previous correct predictions (while ignoring his incorrect predictions, of course) than he does actually making new predictions...

I've never bought into hardly anything Phil Steele predicts.
