Overrated/Underrated!

[Red_Alert]

Bolded some of the good calls so far

Why is Wisconsin being 'Under-rated" at #23 a good call?

They are at #22 now.

That is neither Over or Under rated per the preseason poll. For all practical purposes, it's right at the preseason prediction.

It would have been a good call if folks would have said "That's about right", no?

Obviously because they've already played the tougher part of their schedule and are positioned to win out and finish higher ranked?

You're right. I did it fairly hastily. Probably looked at who they had over-rated more so. With all the formatting that was in the post as it was, it was fairly confusing to begin with

The pre-season poll currenty was as good as right on (1 off) compared to the current poll. Nobody was "correct" in saying Wisconsin was "under-rated" at #23 when they are currently #22.

What's so hard to understand about that?

Who won?

 

[Taz_Hokie]

nobody had the guts to pick auburn as underrated just because they were probably so far below #26 it was too risky picking them. and they still very well may only end up as a fringe top 25 team depending on how things go.

You have to be rated first.

Yeah, I think they barely squeaked into the top 25 somewhere.
