Phil Steele
Strengths: TCU, which destroyed Ole Miss 42-3 in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, returns 15 starters, including Heisman contender QB Trevone Boykin. The Frogs have speed at wide receiver, and the offense is one of the best in the country with 10 starters back. The defense has my No. 6-rated D-line and No. 8 DB unit. TCU also has a schedule where it could be favored in all 12 games this year (currently not a 'dog in any game).
