Once again, the desperate Phil Steele has come up with another list of his top teams. These are teams that he feels fit the "National Championship Mode" this season. Notice who he excludes as well as includes:
Alabama
Baylor
Clemson
Florida St
Iowa
Kansas St
Louisville
LSU
Michigan St
Ohio St
Oklahoma
Ole Miss
Stanford
USC
Wisconsin
I will tell you right now that Clemson, Iowa, Kansas State, Louisville, Ole Miss, Stanford, and Wisconsin have absolutely NO chance of getting to the playoffs. Baylor and USC are very iffy. He excludes Oregon, UCLA, (Both of which have a much better chance of getting to the playoffs than Stanford or USC have), Auburn, Georgia, and South Carolina, to name a few.
Steele is getting very desperate. His once prould magazine now spills out so much garbage that it is nearly impossible to read with a straight face. He picks the EXACT same Top 4 teams as Athlon does, yet Athlon comes out much earlier than his rag. Now I know that Steele is desperate for sales, but he constantly contradicts himself. He picks Stanford and USC in this article, but has UCLA and Oregon at 5 and 6. IMO, he is desperate and his magazine, with it's thousands of useless and unnecessary words prove it.
