Why buy any other preview mags?

Ok, so I'm a little behind on this, but apparently EDSBS is rocking the double-secret release of Phil Steele's top ten for 2008. And wouldn't you know it, Penn State eeked out at No. 10. Some will freak, while others will jump for joy, but I'm remaining grounded right now. Why?

Because as freakishly accurate as Phil's previews are, Penn State is at its best when the expectations are low. However, if you look more closely, the expectations are very low this season, from the MSM (main stream media) perspective. Some aren't even considering Penn State for their top 20, never mind their top 15. I've even seen some put Pitt over Penn State going into 2008!

I'm not going to release my top 25 until sometime in July. I don't have the resources or time to do the things Phil's crew does. However, I'd like to give more thought to it than the five minutes those clowns in the MSM do. We'll see where this goes. If Phil thinks Penn State has a legit shot at ending the season with 10 wins (that's about what No. 10 suggests), you have to take a lot of stock in that. I do.
