Idiots fall for clickbait.

How many times since Mullen has been here have they finished ahead of us? How many times were we picked behind them?

Did ESPN not fire this guy?? No wonder that network is tanking.

Lol Phil Steele? He's about as good at picking football as I am picking soccer.

Is there any way that we could do a project to check the accuracy of these so called prognostication experts? That would be great info to have. I'm sure they are correct with the top 2 teams but after that I think they miss by a bunch.
You hear those bells mother-fudder....an Air-RAID is coming and that is yo ass!

Yep... Steele (magazine) is one of the most accurate...

But accurate, in this case, is so relative. It's analogous to whose garbage is the least fragrant.

I'd bet his rankings correlate to his number of subscribers per fan base.

Dang, I knew he was pretty good, but that's strong, IMO.
Good research.

Not that difficult to pick them 6th or 7th every year...

I always tell my kids that the Egg Bowl is the battle for last place in the SEC West. Usually true.

So lets give the guy credit for being wrong 7 of 8 years? Wrong is still wrong. Close means nothing, if close counted we'd be SEC champs. State will probably finish 5th in west with UPig and OM behind us. Depends on LSU game, we pull that off we are in good shape. If not it comes down to us and A&M for 4th in the west

While his picks are pretty close what our fanbase is pissed about is that other than 2011 he always picked us below what we actually accomplished. Obviously that means he's giving someone else more credit than they deserve and he is consistently undervaluing us.
Death penalty or bust!!!***

The fact the picked us 6th in 2014 destroys all credibility from the rest of the list.
Anyone who closely follows college football in the SEC can pick the order of finish for all teams in a division with 90% accuracy within 1 or 2 spots either direction. Anyone can do that. Steele uses a bunch of advanced stats and metrics and his results really aren't much better than anyone else. Although they are marginally better because he isn't catering to the largest fanbases with his predictions.

Yep. I can pick the west every year and be as close or better than him.
