Without reading too much into it, I see an awful lot of Syracuse selections for a team that finished 4th in conference.

There is also alot of Cincy selections and they won 4 games and finished 7th. These are preseason selections. Its based on what teams have coming back. SU lost alot, but still has alot on offense returning.

The fact that Keith Tandy is listed as a UConn player leads me to disregard this ranking. If you're going to list people, at least get them listed with the right school...

Nah, all of those players definitely deserve it. Krautman was on many peoples Freshman All-American teams after last season, but always gets overlooked now. Chandler is one one of the best DE's in the Big East. Provo is on the Mackey watch list. Thomas is one of our best overall players. Pugh is one of the best young Tackles in the country. So, I think they are all well deserved.

Chandler Jones, Phillip Thomas, and Justin Pugh have been on a lot of these preseason All Big East teams. Provo and Krautman appear on some of them.

I think he probably meant to list Bileh Wilson there. The UCONN CB got to be a top CB in the BE and most likely a future NFL pro. The kid is a stud.

Keith Tandy led The BEast in INTs last year, Husky. Did Wilson?

The article is not from a Cincinnati based site either.

Four of the five SU players selected were either all BE selections or on some other national preseason selections such as Lou Groza and Mackey List. None of those lists are SU based.
