Phil Steele preseason thread.
It's the offseason. There isn't much to talk about. So I will be posting updates from Phil Steele's blog/magazine in this thread, because Phil Steele produces the only publication worth talking about.


- 2015 preseason All-America team: http://www.philsteele.com/All_Conference...rican.html

Corey Davis 4th team All-American!!


- 2015 preseason all-MAC team: http://www.wmubroncos.com/pdf9/3604517.pdf

12 Broncos named. Offense should be explosive!


- Career O-line starts returning:
http://www.philsteele.com/Blogs/2015/JUN...une04.html

WMU ranked 7th in the MAC and 32nd nationally. Lots of experienced lines in the MAC this year. Toledo ranked dead last with only 4(!) career starts on their line. WMU has 81 comparatively.


- Percent of lettermen returning: http://www.philsteele.com/Blogs/2015/JUN...une05.html

WMU only has 43 returning lettermen, but we were (and still are) a very small team with room for schollies. WMU ranks 3rd in the MAC and 11th nationally in returning experience as percentage of roster.


- Preseason consensus ranking of all 128 teams : http://www.philsteele.com/Blogs/2015/JUN...ne08A.html

This is NOT Phil Steele's list and does not take his into account. It is a compilation of 6 other publications' rankings (ESPN FPI, Lindy's, Athlon, CFN, FEI, S&P+). WMU ranks 3rd in the MAC, 81st nationally.


- Percent of offensive yards returning: http://www.philsteele.com/Blogs/2015/JUN...une09.html

WMU ranks 1st in the MAC and 4th nationally! Not surprising considering Terrell, Franklin, Davis, Braverman, Boyden and the whole gang are back. Interesting to note that there are 6 MAC teams in the top 20. Tons of experience and talent in the MAC this upcoming season. Should be a lot of fun.


- % of tackles returning: http://www.philsteele.com/Blogs/2015/JUN...une10.html

Lindy putting Ball State at #119 -- wow. That's a really dumb placement. BSU had an adjusting/down year. They're going to be a trouble-maker-ya-never-really-thought-about this year. This, is guaranSheed: There is no way all Top 3 teams in the MAC West will go undefeated against Ball State. Games against them will have an impact on who wins the West and who doesn't.

Lindy's is a joke. Putting Ball State at 119, UMass 115, Kansas 82, CMU 89, WMU 96, NIU 51, Georiga Southern 93, SDSU 71, BGSU 45 etc etc....

They just do the top 25 and then slap everyone else in there...


Looking at CFN and Athlon though...they're just as bad

Next update is % of tackles returning: http://www.philsteele.com/Blogs/2015/JUN...une10.html

Despite the amount of experience coming back on defense, WMU ranks 10th in the MAC and 69th overall. This is largely due to the loss of guys like Celiscar, Currie and Ishmael.
