Has any athlete ever received as much undeserved hype as Arch? (High School & P4 Stats)

I don't dislike Arch. I think he seems like a cool guy. I dislike the media press he is receiving. I can't recall a player who hasn't done anything receive as much media infatuation as him. It's to a point that it is hive mind.

Arch's stats vs Power 4 teams who went above 2-10:
24.4 QBR. That'd ranked dead last 136th of 136 FBS QBs. He had 12 carries for 26 yards around 2.2 ypc.

Being from Louisiana I am very familiar with his high school and schedule. Newman plays 2A mostly lower level, smaller enrollment, undersized kids high schools. There were 2 legit schools he played though. U High who usually has ESPN 300s and is located on LSU campus, and Many High School who just happened to have 2 ESPN 150s at Linebacker that year.

Arch's stats vs U High:
8 for 21, 38% completion rate, 96 yards, 2 INTs, 0 TDs, 1 Fumble lost returned for a TD, and 1 Pick 6 on him.
He had 19 carries, 42 rushing yards, 1 TD. Averaging 2.2 yards per carry.

How did Arch do vs Many HS who had 2 ESPN 150s at LB?
8 for 20, 40% completion rate, 90 yards, 2 TDs

Paul Finebaum thinks he's a generational QB with those 2A High School opponent stats? He averaged 8.5 yards per attempt at the 2A High School level. He averaged 2,100 passing yards per year. These stats above aren't close to #1 overall recruit level. More like a 3 star in my opinion.

Compare that to Jujuan Johnson of LSU that year who became a WR at LSU, JuJuan had 2x the amount of passing yards his Senior high school year as Arch and averaged 11 ypa while Arch was at 8.5. How can one expect Arch to go 8+ ypa in the SEC when he was at that 8 ypa level in 2A high school?

The Mannings do an excellent job of making themselves seem like "one of us". When Eli and Peyton get on Monday Night Football, they shoot the shite. Talk like a group of normal dudes would gathered together for MNF. They have molded Arch's personality to seem like "oh he's just one of us", but he isn't. Peyton and Eli aren't going to be sitting commercial next to you on your next flight.

Texas is being ranked #1 despite having the 2nd lowest returning production amongst Top 25 teams, having lost 2x to UGA, 1x to OSU. I listen to XM Channel 84 where there is actual college football knowledge instead of AP voters. They are all former players which I'm going to spell wrong, but like Bobby Carpenter, Dusty Dvorcek, Danny Kannel, Rick Neuheisel, Jacob Hester. Great content. These guys had Texas ranked 6th or 7th for the reasons I mentioned above. We know the reason Texas is ranked #1 is because the media has hive mind and did it because their infatuation with their QB. There's just no reason to rank #1 considering the mass exodus of players, and there were 2 teams that were better than them last year. I'd see a case if they had returning production like Clemson.

If there is 1 thing I dislike in College Football more than anything other, it is teams and players who are overrated. I say the same about Penn State now. Penn St James Franklin team is 1-15 vs Top 5 teams. We all know at some point, they will do what they did in the past. Luckily, the preseason polls don't mean much.

I am a transplant living in Texas, so I wish the media would see this objectively. They want Texas to be good so bad. I just read an article on ESPN both having Texas winning the Nati
