Who's overrated? Who's underrated? What unranked team(s) should be?

Arkansas and Auburn seem to be the 2 that are overrated. Arkansas because of their distractions off the field. firing of Petrino and the dismissal of the student athletes that were on the team because of burgarly charges. losing Marquel Wade will hurt because he was suppose to be their #2 guy. losing him on offense and punt/kick returnng as well. Auburn has QB issues with Moseley battling a hurt shoulder and an unproven backup in Frazier. plus with the news of a running back with a false high school transcript. I see that they also lost a DB who transferred to Nebraska. OL for them would be a concern and a D im not sure will be all that great as they almost lost to Utah State last season winning by 4 points 42-38. LSU should be #2 in the polls not #1 that spot should be for the defending national champions Alabama. SC Gamecocks dont have QB Garcia anymore as he was dismissed and they lost Ingram on D and WR standout Alshon Jeffery to the NFL. Although they have coming back RB sensation Marcus Lattimore and DE standout J.Clowney. Georgia dismissed RB Isiah Crowell so im not sure why they are ranked as high as they are. FSU dismissed S Greg Reid but should still have one of the nations best defenses.

I'll state the opposite: Arkansas and Auburn are underrated. Arkansas is getting knocked too much for losing Petrino and Auburn has matured a year and should be improved. Auburn is well coached.

TCU and Stanford are overrated in my view. Wondering if your entire team is going to be indicted is a significant distraction (TCU). Not sure how Stanford will react to losing their key offensive weapon. TCU has a much more difficult schedule. The PAC 12 will be stronger than last years edition.

Louisville and Virginia are two Id think will end the season ranked.

Notre Dame; seems like they always start ranked but end up mediocre at best.

Florida St. is way overrated again.
