Really surprised, and a little nervous about high expectations, that Phil hasn't listed Ohio State yet.

It doesn't surprise me (since practically everyone has them around there), but I really didn't expect it from Phil.

It's stupid to do something like that and not expect a tremendous backlash. That said, it's sad that such a backlash is expected, and even worse that some idiots make threats like this.

It's well documented that I HATE Facebook and the like, and I look forward to the day when fucktards get prosecuted for threats like these. Get a life, assholes.

As Steeler said, you have to expect the backlash if you're going to do that (and be so brazen about it), but hell, I have no problem with it. If I'd been in a position to be recruited by Michigan and Ohio State, I would have done the same damn thing with anything maize and blue.

I love it when both Michigan and Ohio State are quality ... this kind of stuff is just going to keep happening. And it's a blast!

At this point, I'm wondering if Ohio State just isn't in the list :D

UCF is #15?http://img.tapatalk.com/63bcbdb3-ca36-0ef1.jpg

Thing to remember is that the list isn't about quality of the team, but it is weighted on their schedule and thus perception that people will have of that team based on their resulting record.
