With the preseason AP Top 25 hitting the presses, college football fans are already dubbing teams overrated and underrated. Who’s overrated?

Heading into the 2022 season, everyone has their early opinions on which college football teams are already overrated and which are underrated. How can you possibly make this assumption without seeing this year’s version of these teams take a single snap? Well, based on lost talent and returning production, we can make educated guesses.

There are teams that seem to be overrated every single year and others who are given the benefit of the doubt despite losing a ton of talent to the NFL (Alabama, Ohio State, and Georgia).

The first AP Top 25 release featured plenty of overrated teams and some that probably deserve more respect, but I’m going to focus on the former.

It’s an annual tradition to pinpoint a few teams who I believe are vastly overrated and revisit the predictions at the end of the season. I’m going to select a handful of squads who I believe are ranked too high and I’ll either look like a genius or the biggest fool who writes about college football on the internet (leaning toward this one).

Here are my most overrated teams heading into 2022.
