Which BCS Team Is the Most Overrated in 2008?

Who is the most overrated team coming into to 2008?

I think there were a lot of teams in college football in 2007 that, if it were basketball, would have been considered a "Cinderella."

Missouri and Kansas came out of nowhere to have good seasons and now they're being called "powers."

Mizzou beat up on their opponents, until the Big 12 championship game when they finally faced an inspired defense in Oklahoma. They didn't play Texas and squeaked past Kansas in their final regular-season game.

But I, for one, am not sure the Tigers are for real; this year, they will get tested, a lot. OU, Texas, a dangerous K-State team, and once again the Kansas Jayhawks to wrap it up. They've got a shot at a Big 12 title, since the rest of the teams will just eat each other alive. BCS title game? Don't hold your breath.

Kansas' bubble, I think, will bust. Reesing will have a tough time repeating what he accomplished last year. He doesn't have the help on the offensive help that Chase Daniel's has. On the defensive side of the ball, he doesn't have what he did last year with Talib now in the NFL. 

I'd look for their season to start a downward spiral on Oct. 18 at OU. They could presumably lose their last six games. OU, Texas Tech, KSU, Nebraska, Texas and then Mizzou. They'll be good, but I wouldn't get hopes set on another 11-1 record.

Virginia Tech have been perennial underachievers since Michael Vick left. To be honest, since the ACC split to divisions, the whole conference hasn't been what it used to be. 

Texas Tech is good, but they've always been...good. But never better than just "good." It kills me to hear people say they've got a shot to get to the BCS Championship Game. 

Everywhere I look it's, Graham Harrell this, Crabtree that. Crabtree is a beast I admit, but Harrell doesn't really impress me. He set a lot of records and threw a bunch of TD passes, but he plays for Texas Tech, every quarterback to ever start for Mike Leach set records: yards, touchdowns, and also attempts.

And where are they now? What did they win during their times in Lubbock? No conference titles, not even a Big 12 South division title.

They will do what they always do, play spoiler and beat either OU, Mizzou, or Texas, but lose to a team they should blow-out and spend another year in a one of the 30 bowl games that nobody will watch. And Graham Harrell will set another record in vain.

Arizona State is ranked 16 in the preseason polls and second in their conference, which I believe is a bit high. No knock on ASU, but I think the Pac-10 will have some schools bust out of slumps.

UCLA has new staff, a future star in freshman Aundre Dean, and too much pride to have another year like '07. Cal is always a threat and Washington will be better than last year, now that their offense has finally gotten a full offseason under their belt.

And oh yeah, the Sun Devils play Georgia, @ Cal, @ USC, and a home game against Oregon in a four-week span. I'd bet on them dropping at least three of those four.

I love my Longhorns, but I think they will have a down year. Even a down year in Austin will get them 10 wins and at least the Holiday Bowl. The season starts in a few weeks, and they have no starter at running back due to Jamaal Charles' bolt to the draft.

Man if he would have stayed, he could of had a shot to be the schools leading all-time rusher. I'm sure he would have been invited to the Heisman ceremony, though he probably wouldn't have won it, and Texas would have a legit shot at winning the Big 12. 

Either way, I think Texas will do their usual, beat everyone they should the first few weeks, lose to OU in Dallas in a close one, work their way back up the polls, only to lose one more and break the hearts of everyone in Austin. Man, I hope I'm wrong. Go Horns!

Wisconsin is a team that will probably win every game in the Big 10, except the two they need to win for them to have a chance at a title. Michigan, in the Big House, and Ohio State in Madison. They also make a trip to sunny Fresno, CA to play the Bulldogs, who are always dangerous, whether it be at home or away.

Georgia is...I don't know why, but I'm not ready to jump on that bandwagon yet. I think the No. 1 ranking is a bit too high. No. 1 means they are they best in the land right now, and I'm not so sure I believe that.

Top five for sure, maybe even top three, but No. 1? I can't quite buy that just yet. The Dawgs' got a lot of hype over that thrashing they put on Hawaii and Colt Brennan, but considering it was Hawaii, it didn't hold much weight in my eyes.

Hawaii had no fans in New Orleans because of the distance and looked like a pee-wee team compared to Georgia's offensive lines. Knowshon Moreno was the size of a Hawaii linebacker.

If they beat South Carolina and Arizona State soundly on Sept. 13 and 20, then I'm a believer, and I think those off-field problems they have will be forgotten about very quickly. The back half of their schedule is tough though, and that's where they will probably go down.

I'm sure a lot of y'all have comments and beefs with this article, so let the games begin.
