Lions Beginning to Rise from the Ashes...


While traveling this weekend I stopped by an airport newstand and skimmed the always popular (and ridiculously early) preseason College Football Magazines. Looks like some folks in the "know" are starting to put the Nittany Lions back on the national landscape...

  • Phil Steele (who claims to have the most accurate preseason rankings among all the mags.) has Joepa's boys ranked the highest at #19
  • Lindy's puts the Nitt's at #25 in the nation.
  • CollegeFootballNews.com - #26 (read a complete run down from the site here.)
  • NationalChamps.net - #25 (more info) - I can't take much stock in this one, even though I appreciate the top 25 ranking. These guys have Anthony Morelli as the "Offensive Star" and an expelled EZ Smith as the starting center.

If anyone out there has any other preseason predictions of note for the Lions. Please post your comments.

Mel Kiper predicted an 8-3 (9-2) record and number 3 (or 4) team in the Big 10.

If the O-line is better and they get some big plays on offense and similar production as last year on defense they could be better his year.

Here's hoping.
