Tennessee Is The 3rd Most Overrated Team?

stupid formula.

11 of the top 13 overrated programs won national championships in the last 20 years accounting for almost all of the national championships won during the time frame as a few of those schools won multiple championships.

if you are highly rated in the preseason, you have nowhere to go but down.

there is also no statistical credit given for meeting expectations. based on the statistical analysis, if you are preseason #1.......you are basically screwed as all you can possibly do is break even.

i'm no scientist or mathematician, but it's a bad statistical measurement.

most of those programs that are "overrated" would take the last 20 years and their accomplishments and be happy.

florida state is the #1 overrated program and finished in the top 5 ever year from 1990-2001 and they are labeled as overrated over the last 20 years.

i hate florida state something fierce, but give me a damn break.

Funny, the top 4 most underrated teams are located geographically in his reading area! The last state I would look for football knowledge is Washington...

Maybe him and his husband could tell me about Starbucks or something....leave the football to other men.

Keep in mind that the guy who writes this says that simply because a team is overrated, does not necessarily mean that it is a bad team.

Liars figure and figures lie. You can construct data and statistics in anyway you like. Add a year here, drop a year there. Add a number here drop a number there. Just ask any politician or media pollster. It ain't hard to prove just about any point you like.

What ever...that methodology would work with all the top ranks in all sports...so I guess its better to be a fan of Buffalo U..b/c nobody cares, including their fans or media.

I think being overrated, as it is most commonly used, is more of an opinion.

The '05 season probably killed us in this rating. From like 2nd or 3rd to unranked, that's 20 plus points right there.

guess this guy doesn't buy into the idea that teams can get better or worse over the course of the season.

Any guy who cums his pants this hard over Florida,

Stupid Formula Guy said:
while Florida is overrated, they are the only team in 20 years that has both an average preseason top 10 ranking, 7.30, and an average top 10 final ranking, 9.25. That's Florida; overrated, but really, really, really good.
Click to expand...

Obviously has a very subjective opinion on the matter and no clue about how football works...

Whoever wrote this is a freaking moron. Basically every major college football program is overrated according to his list. UGA is about the only underrated major program on his list and they always find a way to underachieve. Just a complete waste of about 2 minutes of my life reading that garbage.

Who cares? It's a system based solely on preseason and final rankings, in that case we are overrated....2005 didn't help our cause any

He took the difference between the preseason and end of season rankings and tennessee came out 3rd. Not much to argue about

What I think would have been a better way to gauge it is this:

Take the teams ranking from the end of the previous year and compare it to the preseason ranking from the next.

So for instance when FSU went from being 15th at the end of 2001 to magically being 3rd at the beginning of 2002, they would have lost 12 points.

Just a thought.

dumb article in my opinion, but backed with "careful statistics?" Sounds like it was hooked this way. Not that i care anyway. If you want overated and biased, look at the Big Ten and Notre Dame.

In my opinion, maybe the entire SEC is biased just a little. Sure we have better talent, facilities and coaches, but we can't back it up 100% of the time. We're still human football teams out there, not gods or anything.
