Phil Steele's annual prediction as to what the teams AP voters will end up with at the top of their initial 2022 Top 25 AP Preseason Poll . . . with a general feeling as to how they will be ranked:
Footnote: Steele advises he's been (1) doing this one for thirteen years, (2) wrong on just five teams in that period, and (3) perfect in the last four years.
Comment: Kind of funny, a yearly prediction of what others will include in their prediction! Guess that keeps college football fans interested (and subscriptions up) when there's not much to talk about at this time of the year.
P.S. Worth remembering that Old Phil sometimes fudges a bit regarding his historical accuracy.
I hope you can post the reasons later on, because I'd be interested. To me, with an entirely new coaching staff and 3 QBs who have never started a game for Oregon, I certainly have no idea whatsoever how the Ducks will do.
Steele is the PT Barnum of CFB. His annual is almost entirely a cut and paste recycling of previous year’s statistics, most of which contain little relevance to coming seasons. His actual current analyses are as vague as a politician’s platform, designed to be spun as needed at each season’s conclusion.
