Picked up Phil Steele's magazine today

I consider Steele's magazine (Phil Steele's College Football 2012) to be the best of the bunch. He has been more accurate than most over the years that I have been reading him.

Overall, he has mixed optimism about the Mean Green this year. He clearly thinks Dan is a very good coach, but the loss of Dunbar and some key defensive players give him some hesitation. Also, our brutal out of conference schedule. He states that "4 of his 9 sets of power ratings call for bowl eligibility, but they do not make my MIP (most improved program) list with LSU, K-ST and Houston on their non-conf slate".

One other thing, he finished the article before he learned that Stojkovic was no longer with the team, so Michael was still listed as a starter at linebacker. The magazine also went to press, obviously, before the CUSA decision was made.
