Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Pick one of each, and we'll see as the season progresses who does the best.  I'm using the coaches poll, as they all are very similar.  One choice for most over ranked and under ranked.  You can pick a team ranked 20th as over ranked and we'll count it if they end up 30th or not even getting votes, and 10 spots or 13 spots etc.

Hi/Low = The highest and lowest ranking each team has held during the designated season. Any team that starts the season unranked and/or falls out of the top 25 during the season will reflect a "NR" (not ranked) designation as its lowest rank.

Texas over ranked


Tennessee under ranked

Clemson overranked
Stanford underranked

Florida State over-ranked
Miami under-ranked

Interestingly, we have as yet zero over lap, which is kind fun.


When we get a few more responses I'll sum them up so you can check.

Michigan over
Washington State under


For me, picking an over-ranked team was relatively easy.  I wanted a team with a lot of room to fall so I limited myself to the top-10 and just chose a team that I think can't sustain that ranking.  I don't think Harbaugh has Michigan at a point yet where they can absorb personnel losses like they had after 2016 and just reload. 


Picking an under-ranked team was much harder.  People above me chose:

• #12 LSU
• #14 Stanford
• #16 Florida
• #18 Miami
• #24 Tennessee
• #36 Nebraska*

I couldn't pull the trigger on any of the top-16 just because there isn't much room for growth so you'd need an almost perfect season to get any points out of that pick.  I have no faith in Miami or Tennessee.  Thus, I went with #26 Washington State.  Could this be the year that the Pirate breaks through in Pullman? 


*Question:  Are "others receiving votes" such as Badge's selection of #36 Nebraska and my selection of #26 WSU eligible as picks in this game or do I need to go back and pick one of the top-25 ranked teams?

You can chose a team that is only receiving votes.  We can easily calculate their apparent ranking.


Obviously, a team ranked 30 that ends up say 10-3 would have been very under ranked and you'd have chosen wisely.  I think I chose a team out of the top 25 myself.  I forget now.
