Re: Preseason Most Underrated/Overrated NCAAF Teams since 1989

but for it to be useful it needs to incoporate 1-117
[/ QUOTE ] It would still be stupid, even if it did this. This type of analysis is silly because it will always favor medium to small programs, while hurting larger programs. I personally think college football rankings are absurd anyways. If a team is ranked 20 overall in the preseason, and they finish 18, does that mean they were really that underrated? I don't think so. The same can be said for a 15th ranked team preseason, that finishs 18th.
Another reason this chart is silly. 15 years is such a small sample, anything can happen then. Programs could rise and fall during that time, rapidly even. ND, UW, Nebraska, Penn State are all good examples.
