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

If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

I'm not sure USC is eligible for the coaches poll.

I'm sure I don't care. UNDERRATED!

Edit - Actually I think they are. Isn't it just the BCS? If not then the coaches poll is a SHAM!

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.

NO!

How dare you even suggest such a thing.

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