Well then I guess I agree with you and Milo that it is argeeable.

All this agreement will end once Hat looks and sees his precious Miami as more overrated than UT.

Not sure what this proves. Teams that are in the preseason poll every year are going to be at risk of being penalized by this scoring system. Washington State has been good a total of about 5 years since 1989. I certainly wouldn't consider them underrated. They have gotten credit for the little they have accomplished.

Based on the list, made some BCS conference rankings via net points.

1. Pac-10 (24.5)
2. Big East (0)
3. Big Ten (-8)
4. SEC (-12)
5. ACC (-28.5)
6. Big XII (-130.5)

As you know, a + number means underrated and a - means overrated.

:lol: :lolabove: :eek:lol: :thefinger:

I can't stand the Big 12, this has made my day. Of course, I'm not that fond of the Big 10, Pac 10, ACC, or Big Least either. :biggrin2:

hat pretty much nailed it.

Look at it this way. When bad teams aren't ranked in the preseason polls, they can only go up. It's not a coincidence that the most "overrated" teams on that list are the perennial powerhouses.

That list isn't necesarily an indictment of any team's performance. When examining a team being overrated of underrated, it has every bit, if not more, to do with the public's perception of these teams. Then a team that comes out of nowhere can get points, just as a team that's highly rated and underperforms can lose a lot of points because they can only move down.

It's a decent list, depending on how you look at it.

I disagree. I do not think that Hat nailed it at all. It is true that when teams are not ranked, they can only go up, however, they start at 26 and go up on that worksheet. Therefore, a team that starts out with no votes (i.e. 30th or higher in the nation) and ends the season ranked 23rd, only gets 3 points.

While It is true that a team that starts out 1 or 2 can't really make up much iground, most teams that win the national title move up at least 10 spots from the preseason poll to the final poll.

Hat just has a hard team with any word implying overachieving or underachieving. For Hat, there is only achieving.

Yep . . . Nothing really scientific about it. :twocents:

There's a shocker.

Nope, just observing that it probably wouldn't have been posted if the Pac 10 wasn't number one.
