You guys are cracking me up! Love it!
OSU isn't overrated, Bama isn't overrated... They are top-tier teams and will occasionally have blemishes, but they are overall outstanding programs. I'm a Bama fan and so I can just list off statistics from memory: Since Saban went to Alabama, the Tide has gone 7-6, 12-2 (undefeated regular season), 14-0 (undefeated regular season; SEC championship, BCS NC winners), and have lost 2 this year on a schedule that is unprecedented in strength (didn't play poorly the last game, either). OSU is the cream of the Big 10 crop pretty much every year... How many Big Ten championships have they won or tied for recently? How did they fare in the Rose Bowl last year (against your Ducks)?
These teams aren't overrated; what other teams should be expected to perform at this level consistently?
Boise State (quit fucking around, you play NOBODY. ALL YEAR.)
BYU (fucking mormons wierd me out, like carnies)
kinda hilarious that an over-rated Ohio State team destroyed Oregon last year. if the Buckeyes are so over-rated, what did that make Oregon's break-through season last year??
just sayin'
and Florida, Bama, and USC over-rated? I mean, I guess you are talking about the season after their great season, when the BCS still has them ranked pretty high despite us fans knowing that a lot of talent has left and that they will be knocked off a couple spots. other than this, and that is something we have to deal with in the beginning of the NCAA season, I don't see how they can be deemed over-rated
mcelroy and bama are still scratching their heads wondering what happened
^Florida and USC? Who is hyping them this year? (Now, not last year or any previous...)
now = this season.. at the beginning of THIS season, everyone was hyping florida, and maybe USC was just a pac-10 area hype, but here they were getting hyped like crazy. especially before the Oregon game, seems like almost all the analysts were saying that if a team is going to upset Oregon, USC will be that team. I am more worried about Oregon St. especially after the very tough losses they've just suffered, and the civil war is in Corvallis this year, which is a very hostile environment for the ducks, just like berkeley. the win at cal last week was the first oregon win in memorial stadium since 2001. which is why i have no problem walking away with only a 2 pt lead, even though i believe chip kelly and team proved they could've won by at the very least 5, but most likely win by 9 or even 10 with the 2pt conversion. kneeing the ball at the 12 yd line with a minute left to play? after that infamous "9 minute-eating Last Drive", i think that was either chip being cocky or sympathetic. maybe a little bit of both, he is kind of bi-polar. genius' are usually nuts though, so that's to be expected.
