Sporting News 2018 Top 25

Last year I was going to buy either Athlon's or TSN's college football magazine just to give me some summer reading material. I looked at our page and projections in both before purchasing. Athlon's had us at 7-5 and projected to go to the Gator Bowl vs. VA Tech. TSN had at 5-7 and last in the West behind Ole Miss. I bough Athlon's. TSN's caters to the blue bloods and a cinderella or two. Put no stock in this. We won't be ranked as high as we should, or as many think on here because of Mullen's departure and a new coaching staff.

I think we'll be ranked about 19. Phil Steele will put out his magazine showing all the returning production, they'll see we finished around #20 in the final polls, and people will say Moorhead fixed PSU's offense in one year. We'll be the trendy pick and start the preseason around 18-22.

Also when Todd McShay and Mel Kiper start hyping Simmons and Sweat on the DLine then it will also help. Simmons will be a 1st round with a possible top 10 pick and Sweat will probably also be a 1st round pick. When you have that kind of dominate Dline then the defense is using pretty damn good. It is amazing how good your coverage looks when QBs have 2 seconds in the pocket.

Also Moorhead is very highly regarded and he is returning one of the top dual threat QBs in the country. KT also showed the talent to win some games if Fitz has to come out. We lose very little from this year. Rankin didn't play half the year anyway and neither Gray or Myles was very much of an impact. Thomas at TE is probably the biggest loss.
