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!!!***

You guys must not have taken into consideration our OL and WR's.....

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.

Hell, Barrett Sallee is a better prognosticator than Phil Steele. That alone should

Yeah, that worked out well. I never listened to his show again.
