football, basketball, baseball. i don't really pay attention to any other college sports.
Football hasn't been ranked since 2007. They're currently #24/25 at 8-3 with wins over FSU and GT. I wouldn't say that's overrated.
When was the last time the basketball team was ranked? I can't even remember.
They are 2 time defending ACC champs and made the CWS last year and won 2 games. Hard to say a team that did that is overrated.
First off, being ranked isn't a real result. LU is still ranked after only having one legit win the whole season. I don't ever buy into rankings. The ACC is completely overrated. I said at the start of the season that FSU would be lucky to finish with 9 wins. GT has done better than most people predicted but they're still terrible and they'll get blown out this weekend. UVA = no impressive wins. They're best non-conference win is against Indiana...they're 1-10 and lost to North Texas. UVA only won that game by three btw.
The basketball team hasn't been ranked, however, the majority of UVA fans or a certain ACC blogger predicted them to finish with around 20 wins and be a bubble team. Yet, UVA ended the season 16-15...
Baseball - Sure, caught the ACC in a down year and found a way to win the conference. Looked really impressive during regionals and super-regionals then fell apart in the CWS. UVA was ranked 1st for almost the entire year. They're baseball team is at least getting close to where they should be but they're still falling short.
