Notre Dame, the Yankees, the Cowboys, New Zealand, Tiger Woods....
Wait, what do you have against New Zealand?

New Zealand's national rugby team, the All Blacks, is the UConn Women's Basketball of rugby.
I thought the list was of (currently) overrated teams whose reputation is unduly influenced by their national following. The Yankees have had one World Series title since 2000; the Cowboys haven't won the Super Bowl since 1996; UDFG's last national championship was in 1988, and even Tiger's last major was in 2008. Despite this, they each get a disproportionate amount of coverage and fan rooting, and are frequently overranked. In contrast, the All Blacks are the two-time defending Rugby World Cup champions, and their three titles are the most of any team (they also won in the inaugural tournament 1987), and are the currently the #1 ranked rugby team.
