    Who is overrated in 2024? Bama and Ole Miss Lead the Pack

    I’m sick of the hype. These are the most overrated programs heading into this season….

    1. Alabama

    I know there is talent on the roster and I know Kalen DeBoer is a good coach. But everyone is underestimating what it will be like without Nick Saban . Last year after the Texas loss and USF debacle, the GOAT made adjustments and did arguably his best job ever. I’m not sure a new staff is ready for that.

    2. Ole Miss

    Lane Kiffin is fun and good for college football and I’ll be rooting for a playoff run as I like Jaxson Dart and think he’s underrated. But the pressure based on that elite portal class and playoff expectations could be too lofty.

    3. Notre Dame

    This is not a top 10 team. I see potential issues at QB and WR and while the defense should be very good, three losses is likely.

    4. Florida State

    The ‘Noles could be one of the teams that beats Notre Dame but with so many losses on both sides of the ball I’m not sure how this is the ACC favorite for many and a top 10 team. But Mike Norvell has proven me wrong before.

    5. Miami

    Is Cameron Ward really that good? I don’t see it but maybe I’m wrong. Miami is a pre-season top 20 program, they have the ACC MVP in Ward and expectations are high. But I think they’re still a year away.
