Will post interesting things here as I come across them from Phil Steele's 2024 magazine. For those that don't know, he is typically the best prognosticator for the upcoming CFB seasons.
He has MT near dead-last, #9. Kennesaw State is #10!
He does not like the fact that we lose so many starters + bring in all new coaches + don't have the easiest schedule in the world. MT returns only 1 starting OL and zero returning starters on the DL. He does not foresee many wins for us.
He predictably has it Liberty, WKU, and Jax St. in that order but surprises with picking FIU at #4. I do think he's onto something here with FIU returning 14 total starters, 8 on offense, and a dynamic QB/RB combo. I've got my eyes on the FIU/Indiana game with the Golden Panthers catching +20.5 right now. Would love to see that number move to 21.
Jakobe Thomas is the projected starting Strong Safety for UTK.
If anyone doesn't have the magazine and has any questions about this year's predictions let me know
