Hi Chase, a page with nothing more than outgoing links to high quality sites, all with cohesive relevance, will rank and rank well. I use this type of "resource page" all the time. An example here: http://golf-newz.com/world-golf-stats
That page has ranked for months with nothing more than outgoing links (the links you see at the bottom). Only recently I added the stats drop downs and frankly, they actually negatively affected my ranking. The page was ranking better with nothing more than outgoing links.
I don't mean to start an argument but, well chosen outbound links, with tight relevance work and I have found them to work in numerous industries.
I do see people saying that they don't but, they do.
