Hasn't Steele been one of the most "accurate" preseason predictors over the years?

yes .

What did they say about us last year?

Thought we'd finish in top 25 last year. Commented on blown leads, Clausen being banged up and most starts lost to injury in all div I as downfalls to his prediction. Thought we would be number 1 most improved team last year....oh well...

Wow!!! hope Steele is right this year!!!

 

#1 WR :shock::shock: I love it!!!

a lot depends on JC being able to stay healthy, AS for heisman , not this year for jc, Tate, could get a mention , the real horse , will IMO WILL BE THE RUNNING OF ALLEN. As he goes so go the IRISH.

I was going to say the exact same thing! Great minds..... :thumb:

IMO....if the Irish are ranked 7th..they wouldn't play int he Gator Bowl

 

edit: nvm...they would probably be ranked lower going into the Gator Bowl and win to FINISH with a ranking of 7...lol

Just so you all know-- I have been shipping out cases of kool-aid to all the media outlets for the last 4 months---there was lots of sugar in it-- so expect the prognostications and punditry to get SWEETER AND SWEETER as the summer moves toward fall!--- LIP SMACKIN GOOD!! ALOHA

Ahahah, that,s a good one Hawaii.:thumb:

Ahahahah. That's really a good one Hawaii.:hail:

To a point I think you're correct though. In order to finish at #7 they'd probably have to start in the 10-12 range and wind handily in the Gator Bowl. But, if they were in that range, there is no doubt they would be in the BCS.

Real surprise was jump in schedule strength by his method. He had our schedule pretty weak last year which was accurate. But not so this year, unlike what the experts are saying.
