What a thrill it is to have Phil Steele on this week’s Schooled with the Professor! Phil has perhaps the best preview magazine in all of sports: "Phil Steele’s College Football Preview." There is more information packed into more pages than just about anything you can find in any pre-season magazine.

This week, we get into the many analytical and statistical tools he uses to project how well schools will do in a season. Two years ago, he picked the University of Washington to be the surprise team. They were. His accuracy in the preview is amazing. Phil gets into what makes a team go up one year and down the next, the experience that each team has with players coming back (and what it means in a forecast), and he projects what could be an amazing season for the UW Huskies.
