Everyone has teams they think are overhyped, it's not exclusive to you. I can tell by your posts that you're pretty much a ND hater, that's okay, that's all part of sports. I see it in every sport at every level. But the point you made in the first sentence here is about the NBC contract. Again, it's more about that then anything regardless if you want to agree or not. It's $$$. ND has been overhyped for a long time because they have a huge following. Same with OSU, Oklahoma and the others. That means money, that's what it's all about.
Personally, as a ND fan, I didn't think the Irish belonged in the top 20 this season and the way they have played except for one game to an even bigger overhyped opponent this year shows why.
