Not surprising, Notre Dame is the most overrated team. Washington St. is the most underrated. |

Fairly interesting table. However, my problem with it is that it gives an inherent advantage to non-powerhouse football schools who aren't usually ranked in the top 25. Basically, a bad year for these teams, and they don't fall, but a good year they go way up the list. The only way for this to be accurate is if it uses a publication that ranks every team 1-120whatever at both the beginning and end of the season.
With that said, I believe this STILL underrates how overrated Notre Dame usually is. |

This table is terrible. They count 'unrated' as 26th in the polls.

Why is it stupid? They were very overrated preseason in the late 90s.

I think TSC summed it up well. Pre-season ranking as stupid way to judge anything. It just favors small schools and punishs large ones.

[/ QUOTE ] I know you're not saying preseason rankings FAVOR small schools. I know you're not. You must be saying that because the preseason rankings are so heavily-biased AGAINST small schools, this chart will tend to give more weight to the underrated nature of small schools. That's what you're saying, right? Please don't tell me that the TCU's, Fresno State's, Utah's, Boise's, and Tulane's of this world have been HELPED by the preseason rankings in comparison with their level of talent. |

You are correct I write like a 5 year old.
Look at a school like Utah on that chart. IIRC they are not ranked in the preseason once, so if they jump to top 15 out of the blue it is a lot of points for that chart. |

And i agree that you would need the preseason rankings from 1-117 for this to be effective. You can't just lump all unranked teams as 26th but an interesting chart anyways. |
