Message: [QUOTE="Quazzum69, post: 1130574, member: 2653"] Or teams are over/underestimated during July and August. Teams like Ohio State are pumped up during the summer as title contenders so when they lose to VT in week 2, it's considered a huge upset. There are less upsets after 6 weeks because teams are in conference play and we have more accurate rankings. Also, Power 5 schools (especially historically good/profitable ones like Penn State, Michigan) are automatically rewarded some amount of legacy credit just on name alone, no matter the current state of its team. Penn State was not ranked, scored just 26 against UCF and 21 against Akron - why is anyone surprised they struggled with Rutgers? [/QUOTE]
