You cant call a unanimous number 1 team overrated unless you breath their name in the same sentence as the 49ers or some shite.
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).

I still remember 2003. The media all but anointed the '03 Sooners national champions after their 65-13 win over Texas. I remember the shock and awe in the media when little old Kansas State blew them out in the Big 12 Championship Game. They didn't just beat them, they blew them away. I think the score was 35-7 or something like that.
I won't believe we are national championship material until Saban raises that crystal football over his head in Miami this coming January. I don't know if that will happen but, until it does, let's just take it one game at a time.
