For years I've had trouble finding this at Barnes & Noble and book stores, and go figure, the cigarette shop down the block from my work has it..my whole afternoon as far productive work = shot.

344 pages to read :ahh:.

Best $8.95 you can spend on a magazine..you should already know Phil Steele by now but if you don't, the dude does all of the team previews by himself.

In case you were wondering.....

BCS National Title: Oklahoma vs. Florida State
Rose Bowl: USC vs. Wisconsin
Orange Bowl: Oregon vs. USF
Fiesta Bowl: Texas vs. Alabama
Sugar Bowl: LSU vs. Michigan State

If you got any specific questions, I'll answer em..a lot can be answered by visiting his page though:
Phil Steele

This is the first year he's offering a weekly newsletter, so if you wanna sound like Kirk Herbstreit around your boys :youngsabo: subscribe.

its ok as bathroom reading, but he talks more about the past seasons than this upcoming season, which gets old real quick. i havent looked at this years yet, but id bet money hes still talking about sam bradford if you looked at the qb capsule for oklahoma. probably as much about bradford than there is about landry jones.

:heh:

I remember when I copped the 2008 one and the whole capsule was him patting himself on the back for saying Bradford would be a stud. He is accurate as fukk, I was reading a column he wrote toward the beginning in this one...I'll paraphrase:
I have 12 TVs with games on and assistants charting the play-by-play while listening to games on Sirius XM. From Monday-Wednesday, I watch play-by-play of every game played on the weekend. On average, each week I write 5-20 pages of notes on each team's performance that week.

Basically, he does his homework and it's paid off time and time again. But he just compliments himself rather than letting fans do it :smugfavre:.

he's like any other analyst...hit or miss...but when this dude misses...he's like waaaaaaaaaaaaaay off

I just looked at his top 40...and I'm just going to say I disagree with literally every single ranking...and some of them by a large margin...he's got teams in the top 20 I wouldn't even put in the top 40...:yeshrug:
