I was going to totally agree with this because you never see them having a top 10 recruiting class. But, maybe their classes are better than I thought because there are 33 TCU players listed on NFL teams. I'd of guessed 12-15.

NFL Players by College - T - National Football League - ESPN

Offense -19 total 10 OLs (4 Centers!), 6 WR/TE, 2 QBs, 1 RB
Defense - 14 total 3 DLs, 5 LBs, 6 DB/S

So their talent is better than I thought or Patterson's crew does a damn good job of developing them.


They don't get many 4-5 stars. And without looking them up I'd guess most aren't stars or starters.

He’s a hell of a coach and they develop their players well. This year’s class was ranked 25th from one service I looked at which I think is pretty much par for the course for them. The team itself generally finishes much higher than that in the end of year rankings which is telling.

They get some talent but I think they develop and also evaluate very well. And Patterson is a hell of a coach.

Over-rated Programs in HISTORY???

More like "over-rated Programs in the last few years probably done through the eyes of a lesser program with a few years of recent success that somehow makes them feel they have arrived yet still have an empty trophy case to go with that 10-2 season that nobody will remember in 15 years from now"

Some of the rationale tends to be based on a few year samples of recent results.
If you had done this in the early 2000s, Alabama would be getting blasted or Ohio State in the 1990s.

College Football moves at glacial place.
The reason these programs are blue-bloods is because they have built their program over the course of 100+ years.

List is possibly more gay than the OP.

Possibly.

This really needs to broken down by decade. Not sure how you say overrated in history. Kind of dumb actually.

Michigan is in the Top ten in all time wins and have the second most players in the College football hall of fame.
They are not over-rated, IMHO.

1-3 lifetime record against South Carolina

That’s always my barometer on judging teams success as well.

In no particular order:
How many National Championships have they won?
How many league titles have they won?
What’s their head to head ranking against South Carolina?

South Carolina has never beaten Oklahoma.
Has South Carolina ever beaten anyone other than Michigan? They are winless against Michigan State as well.
