Against quality and semi-quality teams, BYU has been atrocious. Florida State and TCU all but devoured the Cougars ... No doubt, the Cougars are vulnerable, they even struggled Saturday to beat the ultra-lowly New Mexico Lobos. Last season, I suggested BYU was the most overrated No. 17 in football history, and that might have been a trifle strong. So let's try again. This season, BYU was the most overrated No. 7 team in my lifetime. The Cougars beat a crippled Oklahoma squad and everyone got excited before BYU revealed its true self."

So where does that put Air Force?

That’s right, NOT RATED. Go NAVY!

Interesting

Either this sports writers lifetime or his depth of research has been very short.

How easy it is to make predictions using hindsight. I also think that in week one USC was overrated, as was Mississippi.

I would add...

Iowa to that list as probably the most overrated team this year…

I'd

even argue that most people that follow college football recognize that rankings mean little to nothing until – at a minimum – October. I’m not going to go into this absurd quote further other than to wonder aloud, why would he knock BYU in the first place? Isn’t it in his best interest professionally, in regards to AFA, that BYU be successful? If AFA beats the Cougars this weekend, doesn’t that make AFA look that much better?
