programs are...in your opinion?
I vote for these three...Notre Dame....Texas....Southern California.

Most overrated football...

A program can be good and still be overrated. People get all worked up when you say a certain program is overrated but it's the case with many big-name programs. PSU could be considered overrated, certainly Michigan and Virginia Tech.
Interesting. Michigan was a toss up with Southern California for me. Overrated for me means...in the end...under achievement whether acknowledged by experts or not. Overrated in my opinion is not solely about wins .
I don't keep those kind of stats but compare preseason top 25 predicted record with end of season win/loss records and you have your answer.
Individuals schools that come to mind...U of Miami, VT, USC west, ASU west.

None of those schools think they are the level of Clemson or Alabama right now
Georgia does because they almost beat Alabama twice.
They should have been humbled the last couple of years but still think they are up there.
LSU showed them how far they are from winning a NC

Texas A&M should be on the list of the most overrated teams. SEC fans thump their chests about beating the Aggies, but last season, Texas A&M went 0-5 vs. ranked teams, and 8-0 vs. unranked opponents, which included perennial powers such as UTSA, Lamar, and Texas State. So your school beat Texas A&M last season? Big deal, as every ranked opponent did so.
When you have 3rd and 6 you want to throw a WR into the slot.
Those extended routes by his outside WRs weren't helping.
But usually he uses his Tight End to work the middle of the field. Last year they had a true freshman at TE and their other TE broke his leg.
They beat teams they were better than and lost to teams that have more talent. Just how Jimbo is.
If they can improve their talent and evaluate correctly that becomes 10-11 win seasons.
Just huge questions on what they are doing.
SEC West is going one way and Jimbo is going the other.
Going to be interesting to watch them play the Mississippi schools in the future.
If Mike Leach and Lane Kiffin start collecting wins it will be an issue.
Most schools would have lost to Clemson, LSU, Alabama, Georgia and Auburn.
Ohio State went 0-1 vs that group and most likely would have only 1 maybe 2 wins at the most

2019 records vs. Top 25 teams:
Ohio State - 5-1
Texas A&M - 0-5
Texas - 2-3
WVU - 1-4

I really think of Texas and Virginia Tech when I think of overrated programs. Texas would be by far my opinion as the most overrated football program.
The Top 25 teams that you actually played is a lot more important...
Everyone saw how elite LSU was early in the season.
I don't think any program would have walked out of Austin with a win. LSU did and as soon as they did they knew they were going to win a NC.
Losing to them, Clemson and Alabama doesn't mean you are a horrible team
Just weren't an elite program last year.
Maybe Ohio State could have beaten Georgia and Auburn but we don't know because you didn't play
But those other three Ohio State wouldn't have beaten either of them
Nobody cares about your OPINION as to which teams Ohio State would or wouldn't have beaten, WVPride304/Nostradumba$$. As for Texas A&M, the Aggies, coached by what appears to be one of your heros (there is that WV pride/delusion thing revealing itself again), didn't beat any of the five ranked teams that it played; not one. Moreover, one of Texas' two Top 25 wins was against mediocre Kansas State, a team that couldn't beat Navy in a bowl game, and finished the season a long ways from being ranked.
It is an endless cycle with you. Your insecurity is funny
Penn State and Michigan aren't what they should be. This allows Ohio State to walk through the B1G without actually getting heart checked
Maybe if we have a season this year Oregon can heart check you. I just don't know where Oregon is at
Their win over Utah and their game against Auburn were pretty impressive but they lose their QB
We will see.
Texas A&M losing 5 games to actual Top 10 programs doesn't make them overrated
Just means they aren't there yet to compete with the big dogs
Ohio State isn't playing the big dogs.
When they have they usually have taken that L.
Just reality of CFB today

Ohio State sucks, but went 5-1 vs. Top 25 competition.
Texas A&M isn't overrated, but went 0-5 vs. Top 25 competition.
This is the real world according to the troll WVpride304 with 25+ handles- got it!

You played one team similar and it was Clemson.
Both took an L.
Who knows what Texas A&M would have done playing in the B1G
Your insecurity towards the SEC is funny.
That conference is that good because you play teams that will show you where you are at as a program
Reason why Texas is playing LSU and then Alabama.

Your real and fake favorite teams play in the Big 12, but you're here bragging about the $EC. You continue to be the worst troll on the Planet, all 25+ profiles of yours.
Read the article posted by MichiganHerd, and see that Ohio State hasn't make any of the most overrated lists since the 1980s, but troll WVpride304 can't get Ohio State or me out of his tiny skull.
Admitting reality.
We don't have to lie here.
You have to compete against the SEC.
Reason why Clemson did what they did. They weren't afraid to play against the best
Ohio State should see if they can get a home and home against Florida or Auburn and see where they are at early

Good thread by rootmaster.
It's a shame one particular poster has to stop by and ruin yet another one.
I'm not sure why that one poster is cock envy towards the B1G, but the play on the field seems to override his takes. Texas wouldn't fare well at all in the B1G East Division, and with crossover games with the likes of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and even Illinois or Northwestern, they would struggle to make a bowl game.

$EC teams seldomly agree to travel to the North, and never do so during the colder months, but you don't root, or even pretend to root, for an $EC team, so this point irrelevant, WVpride304. According to the article posted by MichiganHerd, Texas A&M was the most overrated team in the nineties, and Texas was No. 2 in the following decade. The State of Texas is well represented in the "overrated" lists.
It is admitting the truth
The truth doesn't change based on your fandom.
Some people can't handle reality.
The difference between the B1G and SEC isn't close
Any person can see this. Ohio State split a home and home with OU. Shows where they are at.

NotreDame.
They open the year beating Rutgers, Navy and Indiana State and everyone has them in their top 4 as a probable 1 seed and lock for the playoffs.

Why..its what osuassclown does...
Take off your cuck glasses and go back and look at the thread again if you think tvz hijacked it.
I offered all of them a bet last year about Ohio State
None of them wanted to take it
I will offer it again.
Ban bet on Ohio State winning the NC.
Show your manhood

Ha ha ha ha-what would a fan of one Big 12 program, who pretends to root for another Big 12 program, know about CFP national titles or even winning a CFP game? Unless Vernon agrees to reveal all 25+ of WVpride304's handles, and they all disappear, why on Earth would anybody make a "ban bet" with the biggest troll on the Internet?
You are too afraid to make the bet.
Anyone interested let me know.
Truthfully it is worth the risk because the Three Stooges have ruined this site

You beg for my attention by bringing Ohio State into a thread, then cry like a biotch when I respond, WVpride304. Seek professional help. Until then, back to the thread topic. Here is an interesting article about the 70 most overrated teams ever, one from every preseason poll:
https://www.bannersociety.com/2018/12/27/20727458/most-overrated-teams-ever
"2019: Tough call. Preseason #10 Texas, #12 Texas A&M, and #13 Washington disappointed AP voters, but won good bowls and finished in the mid-20s. I think it’s Michigan State, going from #18 to no votes at all, six losses, and another year of grim offense."
***Note that both Texas A&M and Texas were runners up to Sparty.
"2017: From the biggest season-opening game ever to calling Reddit fake news in defense of your Independence Bowl bid as Jimbo Fisher bolts before an emergency game against ULM? #3 Florida State, thank you."
***Oops, there is ol' Jimbo again.
"2011: #8 Texas A&M wasn’t bad, with only one of its six losses coming by more than a TD, but those included a loss Texas fans will talk about until the meteor takes us.
You think that’s funny, Texas fans?
2010: This #5, seven-loss Texas season gave us:"
***Texas A&M and Texas "win!"

This is a WVU message board...
Doesn't matter what is said about Ohio State.
You are so insecure as an Ohio State fan and obviously are jealous of WVU so you have to troll this message board.
Regarding Texas.
Who really cares?
Overrated or underrated. The media is always going to push that narrative about them.
Both Texas and Texas A&M were decent teams last year
Texas just had injuries and were in transition. They wanted to make a change on defense.
They are a scary team because how much speed they have on their defense especially if DeMarvion Overshown and Tyler Owens play LB.
They have LSU in a perfect position. Especially if Tiger Stadium isn't full capacity
Texas A&M would have beaten probably 50 P5 teams.
There were about 14 who they wouldn't.
But I don't think there was a team in the B1G outside of Ohio State who would have beaten them.
They are another team who can be scary if Jimbo gets his players. I just don't know if they ever will have more talent than Alabama.

As the well-reasoned article that I have linked states, Texas and Texas A&M were runners-up for the most overrated team in 2019. It's all there for real and fake fans of Texas and Jimbo Fisher to see.
It doesn't really matter..
Do you understand that being overrated isn't a bad thing.
Just as long as it isn't by your own fanbase.
The media is going to push their own narrative for televsion ratings.
But being overrated by your own fanbase is completely different.
Texas has that problem. Reason why Tom Herman has to win 10 games
Jimbo has more time because that is Texas A&M's last attempt. What else do they have after that?
Ohio St's fanbase believes they are a juggernaut every year until they aren't.
Entertaining fanbase but I guess they have to do that for recruiting reasons.
Waiting to be exposed
They should try to improve their schedule.

Ohio State is currently a juggernaut, and your real and fake favorite teams haven't lost their CFP virginity yet, but this thread has nothing to do with the Buckeyes. Nobody mentioned Ohio State before your troll post. No, it isn't good to be overrated, so I have to disagree with you. Nobody wants to be considered overrated, and hear fans of lesser programs chant, "overrated." It empowers people who have accomplished nothing themselves.
[roll]
If you are a huge program everyone is going to hate you.
Like WVU.
They have BlueBlood programs hanging from their dick and a Pitt fan.
Seems that way.
But truthfully people are going to talk **** no matter what you do.
Being overrated. Just what the media does.
At least you have 4-5 months to recruit to that level.
Last year for Texas was all about recruiting but they have to stay afloat.
You don't win big unless you do big things.
Have to respect that. We will see where they are at against LSU

So, you're a WVU fan today, Pride? Cool, as it least you're not pretending...not that you fooled a single person on here. Anyhoo, let me know when one of your favorite schools sniffs a CFP berth, Mr. "Huge Program." #Delusional

Please stop before osuassclown drives himself over a cliff....after this embarrassment by him...its probably the best option.
Many schools are living on their past reputation. To be fair, ND, USC and UT have great histories. I've read Knute Rockne made the key move for the Irish, going to big eastern city radio stations and offering to let them broadcast N.D. games for free back to Catholics. That happened and sparked his eastern recruiting.
1961-1979
Was the peak of BlueBlood football.
Then you had televsion emerging and you didn't have all the scholarship limitations.
From 1961-1979
All the NC were won by the same schools.
USC, ND, Alabama, Ohio St, Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska.
Majority of those programs can fall back to that if needed.
All had a down period after 1980 some longer than others but all have won at least 1 NC after 1980 as well.
Nebraska is probably the only one if you ask me who could never return to greatness
But I wouldn't say that for sure because Nebraska will win at any cost. That is how much they value their CFB program.
Similar to Alabama from 94-2006.
Nebraska fans still think they are 1995 Nebraska like Alabama still thought they were 1978 Bama
