There is still more than three months remaining until the season kicks off so that means there is still ample time for fans across the country to have several debates about who the best teams, best conferences and best players are in the country, but veteran college football analyst Phil Steele gave up some ammunition for those debates.
Steele released his preseason All-American team for the season and he went four teams deep as he always does.
