Taking this guy at his word, but if true and Steele has us ranked that high, are you buying?
Could he be basing this off Zaire running the read option?

Steele is the best at what he does....although I STRONGLY disagree w/ him on this one.
For discussion purposes, why do you disagree? Is it the OL you're most concerned about (that's my area of concern). I think we have a really nice stable of backs and a really athletic QB, so we should be much better than last year for sure.
Jay, you and I had this "disagreement" a few months back when you were arguing that Scarlett is one of the best backs in the SEC. My view is that he's not in the top 6, and very likely barely cracks the top 8. Take a look at most of the All-SEC teams and he's made a few of the teams that have a 4th team All-SEC. In fact, I'd argue that he could easily be beaten out by Perine. And if he doesn't learn how to block - which is pretty damn important for a top RB to do - he's that much more likely to lose his spot...or some carries/playing time.
I do agree w/ you that we should be better running the ball due to more experience at both the OL and RB positions. But our running game was DEAD LAST in the SEC.....so how could it be worse?

I have seen the Steele magazine already this year. I never miss it. I thought what i read was that he had us ranked #2 in the SEC not the country. He also has us with the #2 Rec unit in the SEC.
I don't see how we could make the jump from worst to first. But our O line should be a lot better this year with a bunch Freshmen that are sophomores now. Also Scarlett is a special back. Perine too. With a QB that can run, they'll probably have huge holes to run through.
