Which team's fans overrates their team the most in CFB?

[bamabear82]

ND.....Ohio State.....well really most fans of B1G teams. One friend of mine has claimed the last 5 years that the B1g is the second best conference in the nation.....I keep asking him if he's watching the same football the rest of us are. He's a Michigan fan too. He REALLY believed MSU had a great team - I told him 2 weeeks ago their offense was one dimensional and easy to shut down, he told me I lost all credibility.....until last week.

I want to say Wisconsin as well. They like bringing up the Badger's overall record under Bielema, but they schedule nobody for their overall schedule.

OOC and Bowl Game opponents under Bielema

2006 - Bowling Green, Western Illinois, San Diego State, Buffalo, Bowl Game-Arkansas-W
2007 - Washington State, UNLV, The Citadel, Northern Illinois, Bowl Game - Tennessee-L
2008 -Akron, Marshall, Fresno State, Cal Poly, Bowl Game - Florida State - L
2009 - Northern Illinois, Fresno State, Wofford, Hawaii, Bowl Game - Miami - W
2010 - UNLV, San Jose State, Arizona State, Austin Peay, Bowl Game - TCU - L
2011 - UNLV, Oregon State, Northern Illinois, South Dakota, Bowl Game - Oregon - L

I will admit, the last few years, Wisconsin has been good.

Ohio State. Typically because their fans don't even realize there are any other teams beyond the B1G and the MAC.

 

[ForkEmBucky]

Michigan , Ohio State , Wisconsin , Penn State

Big Ten fans constantly overrate their conference and teams ... in all sports

Blow me.

Ohio State 2002-2011 (10 years)
played for 3 National Championships 2002, 2006, 2007 (1 epic win and 2 clownstompings)

BCS games 2003, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010 4 wins 1 loss
other bowl games 1 win 1 loss

6-4 bowl record

feel free to explain how that is over rated

That call didn't win it for Ohio State. It tookk them to another OT.

fify

the gift that keeps on giving

But seriously, Ohio State in the last decade, Oregon in the last couple years, and Georgia all-time.

Other than OD find the Oregon fans that are overrating the team over the "last couple years".

 

[Red_Alert]

Nebraska has it's fair share of fans that over-rate the team the past 10 years. It's been hard for some to realize that the prior 30 years as an elite program in the title hunt year in and year out is no more.

All teams have unrealistic fans.

That being said I'd give Notre Dame/Big 10 the nod.

 

[TheZou11]

Nebraska fans while they were entering the B1G.

That was more during the post-Osbourne days. Then Bill Callahan came along and lowered their expectations.

I remember from the old-ESPN board days, there was a Mizzou poster who overrated our team more than anyone else did. It's actually kind of nice being the only Mizzou poster over here so I don't have to worry about any of our delusional homers.

 

[Taz_Hokie]

I would agree with Clemson. They're always mentioned in the mix when you think of really good CFB programs, but they really haven't done much to earn that reputation.

But that's coming from the media. I know the Clemson fans here don't represent the whole fan-base, but Edisto, Ballboy and Moose all seem to be level headed.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

We.....have our share.

You're thinking of amutiger, he has an account here but doesn't post here. And Brin is here too, he's an old timer Mizzou poster from ESPN.

This year and 2008, absolutely. 2006 and 2009 most of us thought we would be lucky to go 3-5 in conference, and went 7-1 and 5-3. 2007, 2010, and 2011 we were pretty much what we said we would be. I'm not sure how we deserve to be on this list.

 

[Taz_Hokie]

We.....have our share.

WHAT?! Noooo.....

 

[Smart]

By the way, the answer here is definitely Georgia. I don't think it is even close, really.

 

[CharlieHarper]

Alabama fans. Yeah they may have the best team in the nation, but they think Alabama could stop the 2012 apocalypse.

 

[BadMotoWeazal]

Damn, beat me to it.... It has to be Bama, we think we're #1 in everything.
