The graphic below, courtesy of BetOnline.ag, is based on X data (tweets) in the last 36 hours (since the initial AP Top 25 Poll was released), tracking tweets, hashtags and direct keyword phrases about which teams in the top 25 were “overrated.”
For example, “Oklahoma is overrated,” “Texas is overrated,” “Texas shouldn’t be #1 #Overrated” “Miami is definitely overrated,” “Florida is ranked too high,” etc. Over 50,000 tweets were tracked.
College football fans think No. 18 Oklahoma is the most overrated team in the top 25, followed by No. 10 Miami, and No. 1 Texas.
Oklahoma was 6-7 last year, which could have led to many fans not thinking they deserve to be ranked. Additionally, many believe that No. 1 Texas hasn’t proven enough to deserve the top spot, and that the sky high expectations for Arch Manning will be nearly impossible for him to meet.
Here’s the full breakdown (number of overrated tweets):
Oklahoma – 4597
Miami – 4295
Texas – 3503
Michigan – 3258
Clemson – 3135
Florida – 2755
Tennessee – 2633
South Carolina – 2353
Ole Miss – 2018
Ohio State – 1959
Alabama – 1863
Illinois – 1805
Penn State – 1786
Georgia – 1629
Oregon – 1318
Notre Dame – 1103
