According to this relevant article, Stanford is the 2nd most underrated team in the AP preseason poll since 2000.

It's a bit silly to claim that this reveals bias in any way. SC, Oklahoma, and Michigan are three of the top five on the list -- but is it disputable that, more often than not since 2000, they've put good teams on the field? There are four national titles among those three (w/o considering stripped titles.)

Teams that start out highly-ranked early in the season have virtually nowhere to go but down.
