Before looking, guess which team is most overrated ...

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Ding Ding Ding...We have a winner. Texas was my first guess as well. What do we win? And the chart is sort of confusing to look at because the most overrated teams go from bottom to top.

Not a big shock . The Blue Blood programs get overrated and over hyped every preseason. Sports reporters or not smart enough or are too lazy to actually study teams so they just assume USC, Florida St, Tejas, etc will be good.

Texas is always going to be the right answer.
Texas will always be over-ranked simply because they'll always have the top talent. Texas has done less with more than any other program in history.

Which, isn't the worst thing ever. They get their conference and national championships just not as many as they should have.

Keep in mind that this just has to do with ranking. If a team is never ranked in the post season poll they can never get a point on this scale. If a team is perennially ranked last (or near it) on their conference's preseason poll but always finishes higher but never cracks the top 25 at the end of the season it won't register here. Get votes but finish 26th on the final poll? No soup for you!
