much less buy.

His latest bowl projections have us in the ever loving Music City Bowl. We're 7-0, one of only two undefeated teams left in a power conference, consensus #1 team in the nation, and have the Heisman front runner. As of right now an absolutely worst case scenario for the rest of this regular season for us is 10-2 and 3rd in the SEC west. And he thinks that is only godo enough for the Music City Bowl. He can go 17 himself with one of Bucky's incisors.

Yeah. He goes by nothing but simple stat numbers, which are incomplete at best. His research has always been faulty, he just overwhelms you with large amounts. If you want to go by numbers alone, there are some better advanced stat metrics out there.

that's odd because last week, he had us in the Orange Bowl. Seems like a typo. In fact, doesn't look like he's updated them: https://www.philsteele.com/bowls/14-15/bowlprojections.html

Looks like he made have revised/fixed that: he has us in the Orange Bowl currently.

He has Ole Miss headed to a playoff game, so he loses credibility there... OM in the Playoff is NOT happening.

Steele is a star-gazing statistician. The week before we played Auburn he said we would lose because Auburn has recruited better and, therefore, has more talent...

I want to win the NC, if for no other reason, than to expose the media and "experts" than have been lazy and stopped watching games, in favor of just using recruiting rankings.

And, if I remember correctly, before the aTm game he said his computer had aTm winning by about 6 or 7 but he was going to call it for aTm by 2 TD's. Also remember last year he said Ole Miss had the #2 O-line in the nation.
