On that note, Phil mentioned that his magazine may start hitting some shelves as early as next Tuesday, but isn't guaranteed to be nationally distributed until June 4 or 5. But he expected that the vast majority of areas would be supplied by Memorial Day at the latest.

Steele has been releasing two teams a day on his website for the last week or so. The link below will take you to PS's website where you can view the pages from the 2012 magazine for today's teams (pdf format), as well as his preseason all-conference teams and his projection for the initial AP poll.

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

i'm thinking they're coming up soon, in the 10-15 range.

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

GOOD FOR THIS KID!

lol sorry jeff.

lol sorry jeff.

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!

#14 Clemson
#13 North Carolina

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

[souljahbill]

UCF is #15?

[AustinWolv]

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.
