Why?
My spy told my guy that in July I should apply to M.C.I. and say good-bye to my job as a private eye.

Why?

I'm in ACC country and it's really quite a laugh to see how these mags all position themselves outside Big Ten country. I'd love to compare these editions to the ones in the midwest and to what methomps is seeing out West.
My take on all that I have read is that none of the "experts" wants to take a chance on calling Ohio State too high because of the QB situation. However, there is evidence in everyone of the mags I have read that people think we may just be a sleeper team of note.
Hmmm. A team with a quality defense and some question marks on offense with a really impressive running back. 2002 a memory anyone else likes to cherish on this board!

Steele pitched that angle quite strongly, Steve... and also patted himself on the back (once again) for including OSU in his surprise teams for 02.

He prints the same first paragraph or so every year in his team forecast. It's said that since at least his '04 edition.

Steele's mag could be so much better if he'd stop with the "I told you 3 years ago that X would occur, and I was right" (I highly doubt you'll see him talking about how he also predicted Purdue going undefeated and winning the B10 in 2005). For me, it becomes un-readable. I mean, he's got some great information, and I like the time and effort he's put in to his matrix's and all, but the pages upon pages of self-congratulatory crap has gotta go. I think if you got rid of the self congrats, his 130 page mag is probably about 20 pages.

What an unusual cover. I had to do a double take when I saw this at Barnes and Noble the other day.

Too soon old, too late smart
Having blown my dough on Athlon, Street & Smith, Lindy's, etc. there seems to be a reocurring theme......that the B10 is overrated. This is because tOSU and Meatchicken both were the flag carriers in last year's bowls, and both got decapitated--big time.
I truly believe that these guys are not going to 'come back' to honest ranking of the B10 until we do better in the bowls. Even though we beat two SEC teams (and don't forget it was our lesser versus their higher rated teams), we're hearing SEC forever, and how about the Big East?......
It's easy to pick USC this year (or every year for that matter), and always an SEC team. Phil Steele reminds me of those 'touts' in the advertising that proclaim how much money you would have won had you bet their way.....and have to point out that they took the long shot and won.
Personally, I like it that the Buckeyes have a fairly weak schedule to work out the kinks in the offense, and to break in the new DL. What were we in 2002? Thirteenth in the preseason polls? Coming from behind builds character. Let 'em rant. Tress & Co has the Buckeyes heading in the right direction, and he picks the recruits for their needs, not because they've got 5*'s. He'll take a 3* and coach them up to be All-American (see Kirk Barton and Malcomb Jenkins and James Laurenitis). I enjoy the mags too, and like to scout the opposition, and see where the Ohio boys have gone (and it appears that most of them are at least in the two-deep).
Remember, this is mainly mental masturbation, and opinions are like an a--hole, everyone's got one.

It's no help that ESPN recently published that OSU's schedule is the 9th weakest in college football next year either.
Although, it is true... the schedule is as weak as I've ever seen it.
