Quite surprised ND was ranked so low. According to every salty hater out there, they are far and away the most overrated sports program in the history of college football, and have been irrelevant for over 20 years.......

Pat Forde recently wrote a Top Tease Teams article.

His list is very similar to the one in GITF's OP, except in a different order. He also had this to say about us:

Not a Tease Team: Notre Dame. I said that, too. The Fighting Irish are typecast as perennially overrated, but the fact is they haven't been in the preseason top 25 much in recent years as voters caught on to their flop act.

Notre Dame actually has had a couple seasons in the last decade in which it pretty dramatically exceeded expectations -- the first year under Tyrone Willingham and the first year under Charlie Weis. After that, the going got tough.

Don't look now, but the expectations are back in Year 2 under Brian Kelly. We'll see whether the Irish collapse under that weight.

It's funny because if you go back one more year to '05 we're a scratch and not overrated at all. Basically echos the point made by Pat Forde.
