All but a few of the preseason Top 25 teams in the AP and Coaches Poll have already been exposed as being overrated.
The way it stands now:
Not overrated:
#6/7 LSU (lost to preseason #5 Florida and #1 Georgia)
#10/#11 Texas (undefeated)
#12/#14 Texas Tech (undefeated)
#22 Penn State (undefeated)
#24 Alabama (undefeated)
Overrated:
#1 Georgia (lost to preseason #24 Alabama)
#2/#3 Southern Cal (lost to Oregon St)
#2/#3 Ohio State (lost to preseason #22 Penn St, was not competitive with Southern Cal)
#4 Oklahoma (lost to preseason #10/#11 Texas)
#5 Florida (lost to Ole Miss)
#6/#7 Missouri (lost to preseason #10/#11 Texas)
#8 West Virginia (lost to ECU, Colorado)
#9 Clemson (now 1-3 in ACC)
#10/#11 Auburn (now 4-4)
#12/#13 Wisconsin (now 1-4 in Big Ten)
#13/#14 Kansas (now 2-2 in Big Ten, lost to preseason #18/#19 South Florida)
#15/#16 Ariz State (now 2-5 -- 1-3 in Pac10)
#15/#17 Virginia Tech (lost to ECU, BC, FSU)
#16/#17 BYU (lost to TCU)
#18 Tennessee (now 3-5 -- 1-4 in SEC)
#19/#20 South Florida (lost to Pitt, Louisville)
#19/#20 Illinois (now 4-4, 2-3 in Big10)
#20/#21 Oregon (lost to Boise State)
#23 Wake Forest (lost to Navy, Maryland, Miami)
#24 Michigan (now 2-6 -- 1-3 in Big10)
#25 Pitt (lost to Bowling Green, Rutgers)

How can you claim that LSU IS NOT overrated because they lost to UGA and UF and then claim that both UGA and UF are overrated?????

I'd say you've got some P&G homerism going there.

While I'll agree we're slightly overrated at the moment, there's every chance we'll finish the season at #2 or #3 should we win out.
Also, if shutting the Sun Devils out 28-0 is "barely beating 2-4 Arizona State", I'd be very happy if we "barely beat" the remaining opponents on our schedule, and while we're at it, throw in our bowl opponents too.

Because Ole Miss and Alabama are inferior teams compared to Florida and Georgia, while both Florida and Georgia were superior to LSU.
Now, if LSU loses to anyone else this season, included Bama, then people can start talking about us being overrated. But if that happens, then we are joining the rest of the club of overrated teams: which, so far, is everybody except for Penn St, Bama, LSU, Texas, Texas Tech, and whatever teams snuck in that weren't ranked in the preseason, like Oklahoma State.

If you are a Tulane fan, then sure, Geaux to hell LSU! We are rivals. Tulane has a good team, you almost took down Bama, and you might take us down as well.
If you are an LSU fan, then I pray that your children (or future children) don't kill themselves by getting the misfortune of being born to such a pessimist.

USC fan:
Your team is looking great other than the Oregon State and Arizona games. You are still in the NC title hunt while LSU is out.
But compared to the expectations coming into the season, LSU has not disappointed so far. We were ranked below Georgia and Florida. They were supposed to beat us. They were supposed to win the SEC. Now sure, LSU loses another game this season, then we have failed to live up to expectations. But pretty much every other team in the preseason Top 25 has already failed to live up to expectaions already.

Alabama struggled against Tulane. If you didn't know this, then you shouldn't be bragging about your football knowledge.

To the Buckeye Fan:
You got routed by USC. It wasn't even close. You were never even in the game. This was supposed to be the year that you guys were rebuilding for. Then you also lose to Penn St. Don't shake your head at LSU until we join the ranks of the overrated like you guys. Yes, if we don't go undefeated for the rest of the season, then we will join you in the world of the overrated. But it hasn't happened yet.

28-0 constitute "barely winning"?
Your standards for USC might be higher than our spoiled fanbase's.

Quit being a bitch. If you are here trying to build respect for Southern Cal, you aren't helping. I think Southern Cal is a great program in the 2000s, perhaps even better than my LSU program in the 2000s. I'm not sure.
But seeing bitch Southern Cal fans like you is a disgrace to Southern Cal. Face reality: you guys choked and lost to somebody you weren't supposed to. LSU, on the other hand, has not lost to somebody that we weren't supposed to (yet).
Granted, USC has a better team than LSU, and USC still has a shot for the National Title, while LSU is out. But to laugh at LSU for losing to the two best teams in the SEC is retarded, when your team lost to Oregon State.

And they also manhandled UGA, which kicked LSU'S arse. So saying LSU will beat Bama is well, stupid!!!

I'm not saying LSU will beat Bama. But, at the same time, I'm not saying Bama will beat LSU.
Regardless, it is irrelevant. The point is, that right now, at this point in the season, we haven't been exposed as overrated, and we are one of only 5 teams from the original Top 25 that can say that.
To piss on that means you have major self-esteem issues.
GEAAAAAAAAAUUXXX TIGERS!!!!

You got me. I meant your last game against Arizona (who lost to New Mexico 23-36 and Stanford 23-34). USC was barely able to beat Arizona, 17-10. I got Arizona confused with Arizona State, yes, that was silly of me, especially since I have visited both schools (love both of them), two of my best friends that I grew up with here in Louisiana are alumni of both schools.

You have to remember that this is the same guy who said no one can talk football or criticize anybody unless we were a coach.
I agree with where a couple of teams are, don't agree with most.
