The most overrated college football teams in the 2019 preseason Coaches Poll top 25

Tom Fornelli

5. No. 7 Michigan: Listen, I am fully on board with Michigan heading into the regular season. I think this is the season that the Wolverines and Jim Harbaugh will get over the hump, beat Ohio State and win the Big Ten. Because, seriously, if not now, when?

All that said, it'd be dishonest of me while writing a post like this to ignore that Michigan is slightly overrated to start the season. The Wolverines will start at No. 7 while Florida, the team that beat them 41-15 in the Peach Bowl in December, starts at No. 8. Does that seem right to you? Plus, during Harbaugh's tenure with the Wolverines, they're 1-9 against top 10 teams. So while I believe Michigan is going to finish in the top five and possibly reach the CFP, I have a hard time putting it this high when it has performed so poorly against teams of this caliber in recent years.

4. No. 3 Georgia: Georgia is in a somewhat similar position as Michigan here. For the most part, I believe the Coaches Poll got the top 15 right. Sure, I'd move a couple teams up or down a spot or two, but there's nothing egregiously wrong with it. One of the bigger of their small mistakes, in my mind, is having Georgia at No. 3 ahead of Oklahoma at No. 4. Georgia is talented and good enough to win the SEC and get to the playoff. But should it start the season ranked ahead of an Oklahoma team that has won 46 games the last four seasons, at least 10 games in 16 of the last 19 seasons, and been selected for the last two College Football Playoffs (and three of the last four)?


No, it shouldn't. Particularly when you consider that last we saw the Bulldogs, they were losing to Texas in the Sugar Bowl. And spare me all the excuses about Georgia not caring about the game because they felt they should be in the playoff. That's an excuse for losers, and this Georgia team isn't full of losers.

WAZZU & Stanford

1. No. 20 Michigan State: I get it, but I don't get it. We've seen Michigan State do this plenty of times before. In 2012, it went 7-6 and followed it up with a 13-1 season in 2013. Then it went 3-9 in 2016 before going 10-3 in 2017. Now it's coming off a 7-6 season after starting last year ranked at No. 11. So it looks like we're in line for another Sparty bounce-back season. If it happens, it wouldn't be all that shocking.

Or would it?

You see, I can't get past last season. The Spartans have a lot of returning production from 2018's offense, but did you see the 2018 Michigan State offense? It wasn't very good! This is an offense that averaged 18.7 points per game and scored 14 points or fewer in six of its 13 contests. Furthermore, Michigan State is still in one of the more difficult divisions in college football and has to play Northwestern, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Michigan all on the road. There are also challenging home dates with Arizona State and Penn State. If this team wins 10 games again, it will have earned them, but I have a difficult time believing that's going to be the case. I don't know that Michigan State will be a top 40 team in 2019, let alone a top 20 team.

Pretty much every write up I have seen, admittedly not that many, has used the "if not now, when?" line regarding tsun and Harbaugh.

I think the writing is pretty clearly on the wall. It allows the media to play it both ways.

Essentially saying "I think they'll get over the hump this year but if they don't, we're having a gangbang on Jimmy's grave because fuck that guy."

Fuck, the tsun people I talk to are all saying it. The only difference is I think their statement is more along the lines of “He’s got no excuses left if he can’t get it done this year.”

For that reason, more than any other, I hope we hang 70 on them.
