The Current AP preseason poll is listed below. You pick one team that is overrated, and one team that is underrated. Any team not listed is considered to be ranked #26 (no matter how bad)

At the end of the season, you gain one point for every spot your overrated team drops. You lose one point for every spot they go up.

At the end of the season, you gain one point for ever spot your underrated team goes up. You lose one point for every spot your underrated team drops.

Picks are due Friday August 25 at 10pm EDT

FORMAT your picks the same way I am doing here with my own pics:

Was going to go with one of these for overrated: USC, Wisconsin or Clemson.
USC has some resistance on the schedule but will be sniffing the top 10 most of the season. Washington State, Notre Dame and Colorado for road games will give them a chance to prove they're worthy of praise.

Wisconsin has such an easy fucking schedule they can virtually cakewalk to the CCG.

Clemson won't be as lucky. Some talking head stated that the ACC has overcome the SEC this season top to bottom. That is true. They will drop two of their first four and will have a major tussle with the Noles later in the season. They won't finish outside the top 16, but an 11 place drop will "win".


Virginia Tech will finally usurp all those missed opportunities that BeamerBall failed to deliver upon. I think they shock a reeling 2 loss Clemson (both losses very close...last second fg/excessive turnovers) and sneak by a much improved Miami team. They will finish in the top 7 with Florida State having won the conference.

Clemson as underrated does not give you much room to gain points (the most you can gain is four) are you sure you want that as your final answer?

It's a tough call. It's either Stanford or Clemson for me. Despite the losses from last year's team Dabo is building something special there. For overrated Texas definitely crossed my mind as did Auburn but in the end I decided to go with UGA.
