Most over and under rated college football teams of last 10 years.

I'm just going to guess all the G5 teams that wound up playing in a NY6 game as underrated:

Houston, WMU, UCF, Memphis, Tulane.

full name of WMU?

Western Michigan

Would UCLA be on the overrated list?

That was about to be my next guess.

4/5 on the under list.

Hope you aren't cheating like Alabama.

They are.

Nah, just doing simple math (which as a Bama fan is all I can do). A team like Western Michigan was never going to be ranked preseason, but had to have finished in the Top 25 at least once based on making the NY6.

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

They are.

Ok, I'm two for two. I'm cashing in my chips now, lol.

 

[McDad]

over = 18/24

under = 14/24

Parlay that. Don't chicken out now.

Going with the G5 theme, I'm going with some teams that have done well on my math ranking system:

James Madison, Coastal Carolina, Fresno St, Navy, Troy, ULL

ULL is louisiana layfayette???

Yep. Although now that I think of it, they may just be going by "Louisiana" now.

4/6 on the list. Nicely done.

Nice. Once I guessed right on Liberty, it was pretty easy to figure out the others.

You just HAD to go there, didn't you?

Stanford on the over, barely

 

[McDad]

over = 18/24

under = 18/24

You're either very lucky or very brave. Or maybe both.

You're right.

 

[McDad]

over = 19/24

under = 18/24

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

You're either very lucky or very brave. Or maybe both.

You're right.

Foolhardy is a more accurate description, but thanks.

11 of the 48 over/under rated teams still remain.

I will be back tonight to update if people are still participating.

 

[bamawriter]

HInt:

A total of 9 SEC teams made the over rated list and 3 made the under rated list.

If there are 9 SEC teams on the overrated list, then give me South Carolina and UGA.

UGA surely has the same problem as Bama in that they are always ranked high in the preseason.

Notre Dame absolutely has to be in the top 10 most overrated. I'd say Texas is there too, as is probably USC.

Underrated is harder. Wisconsin comes to mind.

Edit - I clicked the source. To not spoil it for everyone else, the position of one of the teams I mentioned is very surprising.

I feel like Notre Dame has ended up in the top 12 a lot the last decade.
