I see what you're saying, but at the same time can't entirely agree.
Their schedule wasn't the strongest this year. Most years Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Iowa are all pretty strong teams, so should have been a decently challenging schedule, but that's not how it played out.
They succeeded, but weren't outright dominating over Notre Dame and Penn State. They choked against Michigan.
They struggled against Maryland and Northwestern, neither of which should have been a hint I'd a problem.
I feel like we lucked out with the high preseason ranking and just never lost so had no concrete reason to drop. Defense and offense both have been spotty throughout the year, and it wasn't like previous years where they just get better as the season progresses. I just don't feel the ranking was warranted this time around.
That said, if they do happen to show up with all cylinders firing on both sides of the ball for an entire 4 quarters, I think they could cause some issues for GA
Now someone feel free to copy this for posterity 'cause you won't see me talking chit about my Bucks very often
