Ten most overrated/overhyped College Football Games of 2008
10. LSU- App State - Michigan needs to pull themselves out of the crapper. App State apparently is not as good as once thought.
9. UGA - ASU - This game had all the hype, until ASU lost the week before to UNLV. Even so, it was the first time UGA was west of the Mississippi since 1960. I went to this game and even though the game was never close, it was worth going.
8. Penn State - Michigan State -- It's the (not so) Big 10. Michigan State had a share of their conference title on the line, then forgot to show up.
7. Alabama - Auburn - The annual rivalry game failed to generate any interest because Auburn was so terrible this year. Even so, I expected a fair showing from the Tigers, but I was wrong and they got handled.
6. Oklahoma - Missouri - This could have been a great story line for Mizzou, but instead, they decided to fold and get utterly distroyed in the Big-12 championship game.
5. Alabama - Clemson - This is the game we found out how good Alabama was going to be and how terrible Clemson was, despite the top ten ranking.
4. Alabama - UGA - 31 - 0 at the half, are you kidding? I was at this game and wish I would have sold my ticket. The second half was reasonably entertaining though.
3. Oklahoma- Texas Tech - This had national title implications all over it, then Texas Tech remebered that they don't belong.
2. USC vs Ohio State - Ohio State, big game, flop.
1. UGA vs Florida - This was also a big flop by the men in the silver britches. This game started off bad with missed field goals. Ended worse.
Best under the radar games/games that lived up to hype
Notre Dame - Syracuse - Did Syracuse beat Notre Dame? I bet that Lou Holtz still thinks Notre Dame should be ranked in the top 4.
USC - Oregon State - Great game. Always enjoy seeing USC go down to a mediocre team
Texas - Oklahoma - Opposite of Auburn - Alabama
Alabama - Florida - SEC title game generally is a fun game to watch, this one lived up to the hype unlike Oklahoma - Texas Tech
Penn State - Ohio State - Entertaining to see Ohio State lose.
