Phil’s rankings are his predictions for the end of season rankings.

Something is wrong:

- ACC has 5 in top 25 (not counting ND)

- The MIGHTY Sec 3 in top 25 (granted all in top 9)

- Big Ten has 6 in top 25

- Big XII has 4 in the top 25

- PAC 12 has 3 in top 25

... and nary a coot in sight in the top 40

That is what you call a “cootless list. Even App State is listed.

Phil Steele is the most accurate predictor of college football, according to Phil Steele, so we have a chance this year

he is definitely the most thorough, I always looked forward to his preseason guides before the internet took over coverage of recruiting. But the fact remains, not even the coaches know what they have until they suit up and snap the ball in September, so I am not sure how he is any more accurate than anyone else before August camp even starts. He us just guessing based on the team's talent and schedule, but agree, he puts a lot more work int this than most of the prognosticators, but at some poiunt you are just throwing darts at a map.

He had us at #4 this time last year FYI.

True, he whiffed on us at 4 last year, but who didn't. I

sure thought we were in good shape at QB based on the two games he started the previous year. I fimly believe we will know at the end of the first half in Atlanta. If we don't put up more than 10 points, and it is because of overthrown balls,sacks, and missreads on the RPO's then, i'm going with the next guy. We've seen a year and a spring game that all looked similar. Sluggish. Now, if we look sluggish because our WR's can't get separation, drop passes, miss blocks, then we have 3 more weeks to fifure it out or we lose again to NC State. JMHO

Last year was the worst group of receivers we have had in 15 years. They did not get open, did not constistenly catch the ball, AND ABSOLUTETLY DID NOT BLOCK. That cannot happen this year if we expect to get back on offense. We have to score 30 a game this year. The odds are against continuing to win every 3 point game....

I bought his mags every year for awhile, but you are right. He is very thorough

If our offense is back on track from it's abysmal 2021


Jul 11, 2022, 7:18 AM

performance then we may very well be a top 4 team. By all indications our defense will be good enough to compete against any top team. Here's to hoping our 2021 offensive woes have been fixed in the off season...

I'll take a #4 ranking now & at CFP final selection time too..


Jul 11, 2022, 8:34 AM

Nothing more meaningless than a pre-season ranking. If we can fix our issues at QB and get better WR play (better route running, create more separation and actually FIGHT for the ball), we can be elite. If not........

As you can see, there are programs in the Big12 and Pac12 that can move the money needle for the ACC.
