Just download phil's magazine to my iPhone. His cal prediction is a little strange.

Has us finishing 3rd on the north behind Stanford (his #1 surprise team in the country. barf) and Oregon. Said it was a no brainer.

He has us as his #12th most improved team.

He says we have a "great shot" at breaking through this year, but seems to be down on us because of the schedule. He has USC, Furd, Oregon, UCLA, and ASU very high and has Texas as one of his surprise teams.

He has us as the 36th best team in the country. Other notables are USC (#4), Oregon (#6), Furd (#8), UCLA (#12).

He does not have us on his "top 50" which is to take into account what he thinks our record will be. While he doesn't predict a record I think he expects us to be in the 6-7 win range.

Personally I think he's vastly overrating Oregon, Furd, USC and UCLA. Once again he has different rankings for who are the best teams and how they will finish.

He is also predicting we go to the Cactus Bowl against West Virginia which I think is the former insight bowl which means he's picking us somewhere around 6th or 7th in the pac-12.
