Why do people do this? We beat Tennessee pretty handedly last night. They made a few runs but we closed it out. Our fans start chanting overrated.

Sure it sounds good to tell them that but we are also indirectly telling our kids that victory really wasn’t that great. Don’t we actually want Tennessee to be accurately rated? Beating a good ranked team looks good for us. We cheer for everyone we’re going to play so when we beat them it’s best case for us and our NET ranking.

Sorry…it’s petty I know but good fans bases don’t chant this crap. Downvote away but if you downvote at least out yourself as a not educated fan so we know who you are. Tell us why you think it’s so cool.

It’s stupid.
Basically saying “we aren’t that good and we beat you.”

I hate when fans chant that. It's amazing how they don't realize that it just makes your team look worse by saying you beat an overrated team. Dumbest chant in sports.

It’s the student section. It’s not that serious.

It’s really stupid, but at the same time everyone bitches about the students not showing up or making noise. Now they show up in full force and people are complaining about them chanting.

Up next, "It's dumb when people do the stomping sound as a fouled out player walks back to the bench" I mean, he already fouled out! It's like saying, "yea, you fouled out but you can still walk"

They should've been chanting "LSU is underrated"

Because it’s fun to taunt the other team. There is nothing to read into here

Is it cool? Not really.

If you beat a team ranked higher than you are, isn't it accurate?

Totally agree. I’ve always seen the ignorant irony in that chant.

It really should be reserved for only when an underdog wins in a championship game.

The point is to get under the opponent's skin, not to factor into an algorithm.
