LSU looking pretty strong right now for overrated (I think if we were done now it would be either them or Stanford right?)

Jury still out on Colorado being underrated again, we'll learn something about them this week.

The current rankings seem pretty solid. I really don't think there is much difference between #3 and #25 this year. I think there are a few teams like OK State that are better than their ranking but have an L. SDSU probably isn't #22 (not that I watched them) but do have 2 P5 victories under their belt. 

USF is either a top 10 team or a top 80 team depending on the quarter.

Who would stick with their projections and who would change after 4 weeks?  

Clemson thus far has not been over rated, but that could change.

I'm liking my NCSU pick for underrated.  Washington was not so clear at this point.

I'd stick with LSU for overrated.

Colorado didn't look very underrated on Saturday.

I'll stick with USC as overrated. I'm swapping UNL for Iowa as under, which was my gut feeling in the first place.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

ELA                               LSU                              Colorado
In the under ranked category, basically only a few teams look possible right now:  
NCSU
Wazzu
Miami
Colorado?
The rest I think are pretty much not looking good right now.  Florida is still in the running also.
LSU is a solid one for over ranked.  Ugh.

I think Medina is in the lead now that UM lost.  Wazzu right now looks good.

I think we can officially close the book on Colorado being underrated.

I think it is also safe to say at this point, barring a major collapse (ie.....losing...GASP.....2 games!), Clemson is avoiding the "Overrated" tag.

Catsby is alive with FSU over rated and I already forgot (Miami) underrated.

Miami is the lowest ranked P5 undefeated team.

How is everyone doing now?  Catsby looks pretty solid here.  A few of us look pretty woeful.  I am about middlin'.
No one picked Notre Dame either way, which is interesting.

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.


TOP 25 TEAMS, WEEK 1

1Alabama
2Ohio State
3Florida State
4Southern California
5Clemson
6Penn State
7Washington
8Oklahoma
9Michigan
10Wisconsin
11Oklahoma State
12Louisiana State
13Auburn
14Stanford
15Georgia
16Florida
17Louisville
18Miami
19Kansas State
20West Virginia
21South Florida
22Virginia Tech
23Texas
24Tennessee
25Utah

The most over ranked team is FSU by a mile and then some though USC is in the general area also.  Nobody else is really that far off, maybe Tennessee, but UGA appears to have been most under ranked.  I told y'all.
