Pat Forde leaks Phil Steele's preseason Top 25 early

[GMoose]

It's an interesting take to have OU at #1. After all, 4 of their 5 losses were by a combined 12 points. And they still managed a top 25 offense with Landry and constant QB questions. Next year I bet their offense will be top 10-15 and their D is gonna be nasty again. When you think about it, they probably have the least questions about replacing players out of any team who will contend for the Big12 next year.

And I've had OSU ahead of Bama since the season ended. I think Steele may have sold me on his ways!

I thought for sure Clemson would be ranked. With Dequan Bowers, Kyler Parker, and the stable of young talented runningbacks.

Too many people think the loss of CJ Spiller is too much for us to overcome. I don't feel the same way as this.

WTH?

No aTm?

THe way everyone has been going on about them being our toughest opponent next season you'd think they'd get some mention.

Hey cacti, whats the word on Parker? Anything yet?

Hey cacti, whats the word on Parker? Anything yet?

Not yet, won't know much until the MLB draft.

Steele is one sharp cookie to be sure. But he's not infallible.

As many have stated, "if" we're starting to finally getting some quality depth in the OLine and Lee is as good as many claim I can see how he has us so high.

No doubt our cushy schedule of playing in the North and the ooc creampuffs have a lot to do with it too.

Nevertheless we've come a long, long, long ways the last two years. Thank you Bo/TO!!

I knew Clemson was going to be in for some lean years when they let Jon Richt get away...

One thing I noticed is that if you take the first letters of the teams from #'s 1-10, and put them in a line, it spells "OOATNBFUMO". Do you know what that means? Absolutely NOTHING. Just like preseason polls.

Case in point: My link

Although it's always nice to have NU mentioned.

i like how some teams get there place in the polls based on name alone...oh well, i guess we can't all get what we want

That revised Top 25 from 2009 isn't too far off...

Is Steele going to sue Forde? I could see Steele being a little upset about all of this.

Was it a copy and paste? I could see them be upset over that!!!

It seems like every single year South Carolina is right around the bottom of the top 25, then they start off really well and then fall apart. Then you look at the end of the season and they are 7-5.

It's definitely in our best interest for OU to retake the south. CCG in Jerryland with Cowboy-fans getting first dibs on tickets makes it a longhorn homegame if they make it. Plus, as unscientific a reason as this is, it just seems like we're cursed when it comes to Texas and I like our chances with the refs better against OU.
