Kind of slipped on getting back to this, so I’ll do a quick and easy one. In case you need a refresher, here’s the explanation, and what I said about Lindy’s.

CBS Sportsline college previews should have some potential to improve you would think with the purchase of CSTV by CBS. More resources, writers and information. Not the case this year. The only thing it has over last year’s version is that they didn’t load it full of ads for CBS’s fall TV shows. Instead, they were heavily promoting their fantasy league manager stuff. Yippee.

They include H.B. Blades on their All-American Squad as a 2nd teamer at LB (p. 32).

This mag’s structure for conferences and teams is a little difference. First they do each conference summary page, then they list all 119 1-A teams in their ranked order.

For the Big East page (p.38), they put the projected order as WVU, L-ville, Rutgers, Pitt, USF, UConn, Cinci and ‘Cuse. The all-conference squad includes Derek Kinder at WR as the only offensive player from Pitt. The defense has Blades, LB; Darrelle Revis, DB; and Chris McKillop, DL. Blades is also picked as the conference Defensive MVP.

CBS Sportsline pegs Pitt as the 47th best team overall (p. 49). They seem to like Pitt to possibly improve this season more than preseason expectations.

The Pitt preview page (p. 97) is essentially a recap of the activity from the spring game. Not a lot of useful information. Essentially, the defense looks good for this season while the offense is a big question mark.
