College Football - Overrated / Underrated Outpost competition (2011)
|
We did this two years ago and Matrexmistwalker whupped the rest of us with a near max possible score. I forgot about it last year. Oops. Anyways...
Everybody select two teams, one as overrated and one as underrated. Scoring will be as follows:
Overrated score = Final Ranking - Preseason Ranking
Underrated score = Preseason Ranking - Final Ranking
Any team that is officially unranked gets a ranking of 26 for the sake of this competition. That applies to both preseason and final rankings.
We will be using the coaches poll.
Preseason rankings:
1 Oklahoma (42) 0-0 1454
2 Alabama (13) 0-0 1414
3 Oregon (2) 0-0 1309
4 LSU (2) 0-0 1296
5 Florida State 0-0 1116
6 Stanford 0-0 1101
7 Boise State 0-0 1065
8 Oklahoma State 0-0 933
9 Texas A&M 0-0 885
10 Wisconsin 0-0 829
11 Nebraska 0-0 814
12 South Carolina 0-0 779
13 Virginia Tech 0-0 767
14 Arkansas 0-0 750
15 TCU 0-0 687
16 Ohio State 0-0 631
17 Michigan State 0-0 536
18 Notre Dame 0-0 440
19 Auburn 0-0 329
20 Mississippi State 0-0 301
21 Missouri 0-0 266
22 Georgia 0-0 260
23 Florida 0-0 240
24 Texas 0-0 162
25 Penn State 0-0 161
My choices: Overrated = Boise State, Underrated = Michigan

ESPN has them ranked 25 but the coaches poll doesn't list them as receiving even one vote.
That leads me to believe they are being excluded intentionally.
I would let you use the AP poll, but I am quite certain someone would whine about special treatment. Pick someone else.

In fact you just proved they are underrated. They are #25 but unranked on the Coaches Poll. SEEITOLDUSO!

He tried. It just didn't work.
This Oregon team, with the exception of LMJ, is small and fast...but not as fast or as strong as the prior teams.
LSU is big AND fast. Their D line are monsters but they are big, fit, fast monsters. LSU is a heavyweight boxer. They keep punching you in the mouth until you fall down. Oregon ran around like their usual fire drill...
And LSU just kept punching them in the kisser until they ran out of juice.
Kelly tried his game plan. LSU just shrugged it off and kept punching them in the face.
