2017 AP OVERRATED/UNDERRATED contest

[Great Dayne]

That's it embrace you specialness. You must not have won a lot as a kid.


If your QB sucks beyond sucking it's not easy to win Jeffy. Football 101

Badgers starting QB does suck and it's only easy to win because we have a great coaching staff and team around him and overcome his sacks, int's, and poor decision making. Something FSU hasn't been able to do yet.

Hopefully this can Make it easier for you

Maybe you should watch a bit more football and stop looking at the stat sheet. Being a winner like you claim to be so much, I would think you would understand what stats are.

I watched the FSU vs Bama and FSU vs Clemson game. That's all I needed to see of them.

Stats are good indicators but aren't everything but they must be utilized with the eye test to judge teams. Analytics and the eye test is how teams should be ranked appropriately.

 

[Great Dayne]

Keep trolling trolling trolling. Won't change the fact FSU was the most overrated team in the country. Injuries are a part of the game son.

I don't know how someone can double down so much on stupid but you seem to do it quite a lot.


The amount of stupid you put out is so massive it's really hard to keep track of it all

I finished 11th out of 44 contestants. This is the first time I've ever placed in the top half in my own contest. About half the time I finish with a negative score. My best was when I finished exactly in the middle of the rankings.

I've done this 4 years now. The only year I didn't do it was 2014. It was a weird year.

Rolltide94 overrated #7 Oklahoma, underrated #26 Notre Dame

this has complete fail written all over it.

I really wanted to go with Michigan...but their shit schedule says they finish about where they are at. If y'all pull the upset against the bucknuts I will regret this pick, I'm just not sold on first year coaches, I think there is a transition that says he doesn't finish in the top ten.

...should have know meatchicken would fuck this up for me.

Oh man. UGA killed me! Got me -13. Probably also not smart picking Clemson as underrated. Tough to make up ground when they started at 5 even though they ultimately earned me a point. I honestly thought they had the goods to repeat despite the QB concerns.

 

[WestEndVol]

Damn, I forgot all about this. Oh well, always next season.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Good thing my picks didn't count
