How about some college football discussion? It's only 23
If you're unfamiliar with Phil Steele, that's unfortunate. I actually think quite highly of him and his preseason guides are BY FAR the best in the business. That said I have a few issues with his Top 25.
Foremost, Hawaii at #12? Are you kidding? Now I know that while Colt Brennan is tossing for 500 yards against the worst defenses in the country, the voters will get all excited and vote for the Rainbows. But at no point this season, or this preseason will Hawaii be the 12th best team in the country. Nonsense.
Secondly, here's some teams that are criminally low:
#14 Florida - I know they lost some defense, but that offense will produce more points than these NBA Finals.
#15 Wisconsin - Outside of Michigan, the Badgers are the next best team in the conference. Unfortunately, Phil has Wiscy behind Penn State and Ohio State.
#20 and #21, Texas A&M and UCLA - We saw a little glimpse last year. We're going to see it for real this fall.
#37 Arkansas - Nutt is what he is, but Felix Jones and Darren McFadden deserve a little more respect than this, right?
Ok, I could keep going for a while. I'll let you take it from here.
