I don't hardly remember even being ranked preseason though. Maybe a couple times. Oh well... Nice to feel included

If a team has been in the playoffs, won a conference championship,and a national championship how can they be considered OVERRATED in the last 12 years?


What about a team that has won multiple conference titles and back-to-back national championships?

Why 12 years? Seems awfully arbitrary. Usually they do lists like these in increments of 5

The 2014 season marked a major change to the postseason with the introduction of the four-team College Football Playoff.

The system replaced the two-team Bowl Championship Series, which had been in use since 1998.

Doesn’t matter. This is based on the AP poll, not a computer or a committee

As usual your grasp with reality is skewed. Watching you idiots pretend that your new 4 loss a year coach is ok with yall is almost as enjoyable as that first crawfish boil of the season.

Outside of a couple of times when we were ranked, very shortly, in the top 10 I can't think of many times when there's been much hype around Arkansas in that time period. Certainly don't think it's enough to be ranked in this list.

Any ranking that doesn't have Texas and Notre Dame inside the top 10, when ranking overrated teams, is obviously a BS list.

It hasn't really been rough on me, but then again, I don't exactly live and breathe college football the way some of you do.
