Overvalued/Undervalued

Overvalued

1. Randy Moss to the Patriots-He was the Pats deep threat and Tom Brady went to bat for him a lot. If you go back over the Pats history they have won with lesser-known receivers. Brady likes to spread the ball around and use the short pass game as a running game. The difference Moss mad was a deep threat for the Patriots. Even though the video tape opponents and other things that are viewed as illegal, the one thing the Pats know how to tell vets goodbye.


2.Revis and The Jets Mouth-Just stop talking about other people and concentrate on your team. Revis talking about Randy Moss that he shut him down and Moss doesn't give a 100% on every play. Guess what Revis, we already knew that. I guess Darrelle forgot the highlight reel one-handed touchdown catch that Moss had in the first half against him, which caused him to go out with a hamstring injury. What makes the New York Jets fun is when they brag on themselves, but when you start talking about other people its dumb. Show some sportsmanship for a change.

3. The ACC-This conference had its preseason hype with Virginia Tech, Miami and Florida St. Va Tech lost to James Madison, Miami got shelled by Ohio St. and the Noles didn't even show up against the Sooners. This conference is hurting and none of the top teams are stepping up to take control of it. Is this conference deserving of a BCS bid?



4.The Big East-Do they really get a BCS bowl bid? How many people are lining up to see UConn or Pitt in the Orange or Fiesta Bowl? No one and this is a problem with the BCS. It rewards mediocrity in a sense because of conference affiliation gets you a major bowl. There is no opt clause if a conference is bad. Big East football is really bad.



Undervalued

1.Arizona-The Pac-10 is making a lot of noise this year and Zona is leading the way. This is the highest ranked Wildcat team since they were ranked 4th in 1999. Mark Stoops has his team playing at an extremely high level especially his defense. They are third in college football in scoring giving up just 11 points per game. All year they have given up just three td's, all to Iowa. Wildcat football is back.



2. Utah-No one is talking about them because of course they are in the Mountain West, but the Utes are ranked 10th in the nation and have a shot at a BCS game. After escaping against Pitt, their schedule has not been as tough. One Saturday they get a chance to improve their BCS standing by taking on Iowa State. No Iowa State isn't that good but it is a BCS conference which will help their computer rankings. The Utes are in top ten in the nation in scoring offense and defense.



3.South Carolina-Spurrier needs this win. Winning this would solidify the Gamecocks as a legit SEC program. South Carolina runs the ball effectively and has the big play quarterback and receivers to make a game of it, plus the game is at home. If Spurrier doesn't do it now, he never will.
