I just can’t see how Bama is #5 with. The three most overrated teams on this list might be Bama, Cal and Notre Dame. Just because the Irish don’t play anyone and will rack up a bunch of 8 or 9 wins against thin air doesn’t mean they should be ranked high. I think Oregon, Florida State, UNC and Georgia Tech could all end up higher than their current ranking.
What jumps out at you?
