PrintSome lucky folks out there have gotten a copy of Phil Steele's magazine already. It doesn't come out until June for the rest of us.
Anyway, Pat Forde has published Steele's top 25 to Twitter: Top 10, 11-24, 25. Here's where the SEC schools landed:
3. Alabama
7. Florida
15. Auburn
17. Arkansas
19. Georgia
21. South Carolina
I'm not surprised to see the Gamecocks in there, as Phil is bullish on Steve Spurrier more often than not. I am surprised to see Auburn as his third best team in the conference. I have a feeling he might be alone on that one. His top two ahead of Bama are Oklahoma and Ohio State, who, despite having played in the national title game a combined seven times since 2000, have never faced each other there. I'll give him credit for picking someone other than Alabama as No. 1; I doubt many other people (myself included) will be quite that brave.
Also: that's six SEC teams in the top 25. If Steele's right on (and he is more so than most pundits), it won't be a down year for the conference in 2010.

…made a coaching change this offseason that I find very…we’ll just say “compelling.”
I also find notre dame at # 16 very unwise.
I don’t think notre dame will even win 8 games this season.

I love the OSU @ 1 meme...
Those of us in B10/B12 country saw the Terrel Pryor knucklehead enough to know that Oregon was a one shot deal. This team loses two conference games, easily.

But Ohio State has a lot of returning players and won a BCS bowl!
That automatically means No. 1! Do not question the wisdom of tradition based on something that rarely works!
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I wonder if people have really looked at their schedule though...
It’s not easy. Early test @ home v. Miami, home v. Wisky, and the last three games are a gauntlet: Penn St., @ Iowa, Big Game.
I can see them losing 2-3 of those, especially with no proven, feature back.
