Is this guy for real? He also said he thinks Florida state has the deepest defensive line in the country. Thinks they will win it all. Said it on ESPNU

He built up his reputation years ago. He hasn't been too great recently.

The guy has completely lost it this year with his NC picks.

i like easley, but Floyd and Powell haven't really done much. That UF dline is above average but still get overhyped based on those recruiting rankings a few years ago.

This. Steele sucks. It appears his success has made him complacent, cause he's sucked arse for a while now. Course he still knows more than 99% of this board.

Pretty sure he picked Alabama to win the BCS Title back in June of 2011.

And he had LSU #7 to start that year, he had Oklahoma playing for the title against Bama.

In 2010 he had Bama #1, tOSU #2...teams that played for title he had at #10 and #15.

His deal is he takes a few (maybe more than a few) long shot picks so that if by chance he is right he can say "Last year I was the only one that picked so and so."

Just selling his magazines.

The dude is usually pretty good. But it's laughable to call FL's D the best in the country after going 6-6 and giving up 20+ in 4 of those losses.

He also picked LSU to lose 4 times last year, I believe.

maybe with regards to talent potential/recruiting ratings but, LSU still had the best DC in the NCAA!!!

He said he thinks that they'll win the East and have a decent shot in the SECCG. Not "win it all."

Florida does have a very formidable defense. That game in the Swamp will be a challenge.

That win it all was in reference to Florida state if you read the whole post.
