Is ND really any more overrated than LSU?

There seems to be a common theme in the AP preseason rankings thread of people saying that AP voters never learn by ranking ND so high preseason, that they’re always overrated heading into the year, ranked by name not reality, etc. To see how that bears out, here’s a look at preseason vs post season rankings for ND and LSU over the last 10 years:

ND
2025: 6->10
2024: 7->2
2023: 13->14
2022: 5->18
2021: 9->8
2020: 10->5
2019: 9->12
2018: 12->5
2017: NR->11
2016: 10->NR
TOTAL: -4 total AP ranks over 10 seasons
AVG: -0.4 AP ranks from pre to postseason per season

LSU
2025: 9->NR
2024: 13->NR
2023: 5->12
2022: NR->16
2021: 16->NR
2020: 6->NR
2019: 6->1 (GOAT)
2018: 25->6
2017: 13->18
2016: 5->13
TOTAL: -46 total AP ranks over 10 seasons
AVG: -4.6 AP ranks per season

Where does the narrative come from that ND is consistently overrated? Relative to pre season expectations, it seems they usually perform pretty on par. Only 2 seasons (2022. 2016) with significant underperformances dropping by 5 ranks or more. Meanwhile LSU over 10 seasons has had 7 overrated preseason rankings. The only years we weren’t overrated was Kelly’s first year and the 2 Joe Burrow years. So where’s the narrative that ND is consistently ranked too high preseason come from? Somewhere before the last decade? From just 2016 and then repeated? I really just don’t get it, especially coming from us… I know they typically play a weaker schedule, but in the eyes of the AP voter they typically do about how folks expect them to with their schedule at the beginning of the year. LSU can’t say the same.
