3 overrated college football teams for 2015 by preseason analytics

By Dr. Ed Feng Leave a Comment

Screen Shot 2015-08-05 at 9.56.57 AMIt’s always fun to pick at the brand name programs in college football.

USA Today released its Coaches Poll last week, and it gives us a chance to identify some overrated teams.

The win totals report

Based on my preseason college football rankings, I already wrote about 2 possibly overrated teams (TCU, Michigan State) in The 2015 College Football Win Totals Report. This report also identifies two teams with value in the win totals market.

3 more overrated teams for 2015

Over at Football Study Hall, I wrote about 3 more college football teams that might not reach the expectations of media and fans based on my preseason rankings.

One of the teams may have some value to go under their win total in the markets.

I’ve been a bit surprised at the reaction so far. Auburn is one of the three teams, and their fans just roasted me last year for a Grantland article.

However, I’ve gotten a few tweets agreeing with my analysis.

@SBN_BillC @thepowerrank As an Auburn fan…I can't disagree.Good analysis as always.

@SBN_BillC @thepowerrank yeah I think about 9 wins for Auburn is fair as an AU fan.
