Texas is going to need to earn the right to ever be called underrated.
I'd add Oregon to the overrated category.

I think TAMU is overrated, and Clemson is underrated. Clemson might have the best defense in the country. I think Alabama might be underrated too - their team is just so good too.

Oregon and A&M were both teams I had next up to add to the overrated list, agreed. Same goes for Bama to the underrated list, somehow even being #1.
I feel like Michigan St relied so heavily on Kenneth Walker last year and he really won them games and still feel like there were little fluky of a top 15 team last season.
As far as Ohio St this season, I have a really tough time going against Stroud, Henderson and JSN. They are loaded this year on offense, and with any successful Ohio St offense, if you have a good power run game it makes the passing game that much better. That's really the key to making their offense so good. With Henderson they have that guy they need.
