2015 Overrated/Underrated predictions

[xpuctaqpGT]

I will be using the AP Top 25 preseason poll...and then later the AP Top 25 poll at the end of the season. If you wish to participate, you will pick one team that you feel is overrated, and one team that you feel is underrated. For ever spot your overrated team drops by the end of the season, you gain a point. If your overrated team goes UP in the polls, you LOSE a point. Similarly, if your underrated team goes up in the polls you gain points, but if they go down you LOSE points. Any team not in the AP top 25 is considered to be ranked #26....no matter how bad.

Here's how to format your response:

(username) overrated: (team with rank) underrated: (team with rank)



I will go first to demonstrate:

I get that part, but it seems like a huge longshot that they'd end up dropping even out of the top 5

@Cowboyinexile

Overrated: #4 Baylor
Underrated: #26 Oklahoma State

On paper Baylor is pretty stout and a week ago anyone 5-9 would have been a better choice. I think their recent issues will be a distraction though.

I went homer with OKST but the sunshine pumping on our boards is almost making me nervous. We lost a DT but otherwise are clean from an injury standpoint. The defense is reportedly the best of the Gundy era and offensively we should be back to where we were a couple of years ago.

Plus the schedule helps. TCU, Baylor, and OU are at home. TCU has had a terrible camp, Baylor has otf issues to deal with and OU's qb race is a dumpster fire. We get Texas (another qb dumpster fire) and WVU on the road but with an ooc schedule that is weak it's hard to see how we don't end up with 9-10 wins and maybe better if fortune shines on us.

If I didn't go with the Alma Mater I'd take ATM here. Their QB is the real deal and with Chavis their defense should be improved. I don't think they take the SEC but if they end up 3rd in the West or so they will be top 15 easy by the end of the year.

HuskerinBig10 overrated: OREGON #7 underrated: NEBRASKA #26

Oregon loses at Michigan State, 3 tough road games with ASU, Washington, and Stanford. Oregon also has to replace Heisman winner Mariota. Although, picking Ohio State is the easiest choice because they can only go down.

Nebraska Mike Riley is a really nice guy and now he has the facilities to be the coach like he was in Winnipeg, this is what I have been told on these here boards at least. If you hear it on the internet, it must be true. My understanding is that he was also a French model.
