If Alabama is overrated then all of college football blows by that logic. You cant call a unanimous number 1 team overrated unless you breath their name in the same sentence as the 49ers or some shite. inb4somedumbassbammershave

Is it a forgone conclusion that Alabama wins another National Championship? They seem to be in a class of their own?

I disagree. I think there's an overreaction to Alabama right now. They beat a depleted Michigan team and depleted Arkansas team. Alabama has not been tested yet, even though people want to act like these were statement games. At Missouri won't be easy. At LSU. At Tennessee. Those aren't easy games. I think Alabama is a little overrated. I hate to say that, because Nick Saban is one of the best coaches out there.

Do you just surf the interwebz looking for quotes that disrespect Alabama?

I disagree with the over rated part but they have not been tested.

so Mel is in the "not a dickrider" category?

I think it remains to be seen. Bama is certainly a very good team. But, we really haven't been tested at all yet.

It doesnt sound like he is saying Alabama isn't #1, but I think he is saying the gap isn't as big as many are trying to make it out to be.

Kiper makes some good observations there. we will find out if he is right later on in the season.

A true road game against an opponent not falling apart at the seams, Bama has not faced yet. I think Bama is top notch, but there are questions that remain such as the secondary for example. Bama should be ready when the time comes however.

I agree we have not been tested but how can you say that Alabama is overrated because of that?
Posted on 9/19/12 at 2:55 pm to cajunsack
I agree. We havent done anything to prove we are elite.

Not unanimous and not over rated

I agree with this part of his statement. Michigan shouldn't even be ranked IMO. I guess we'll see what happens when they play ND this weekend.

1) He's right that Alabama hasn't truly been tested.
2) Overrated? That's preseason ranking for you. We started out in the top 5, beat a top ten team, and there you go. We're number one.
3) I have yet to see any team in the country play on the same level as LSU or Alabama. Period. I've watched every game I could this season and so far, no one comes close. By his rationale, if Alabama is overrated, then the rest of the teams blow so much arse it's unbelievable.
4) Kiper munches turds.

I think this might be his point. Even ignoring fans on the internet fricking around, haven't there been people in the media throwing this kind of hyperbole around? This is what the media does, they always want to declare a team each year as an all-time great. In that sense, there is some argument for the "overrated" tag. I don't think he means they shouldn't be number 1 or that they aren't possibly the best team, just that they aren't unbeatable like some media is suggesting (now that the former unbeatable team USC has lost).
