What are you guys using to determine whether or not something is "overrated"?

Oh, definitely, man, I don't really get why people fawn all over Northwestern. WashU is only relevant because they play the rankings game and people buy into it.
But I think Georgetown gets more credit than it deserves because of its prominence
And Hopkins is underrated because their excellent academics all around gets overshadowed by their med school and people saying "Oh Hopkins is ONLY good for med"
I think liberal arts colleges in general are all underrated. Poor things.

Hmm, maybe because it has one of the best journalism schools in the world, is a powerhouse in the entertainment industry, has the best marketing B school in the world and has very strong faculties in every single area? Not to mention that every now and then (like this year), they actually do pretty well in sports. The kids there are also very smart and considerably more social than the typical ivy league brat, with quite similar achievements scholastically.

I only remember the weeping of NU fans as Pryor ripped your secondary to shreds.

I think they were weeping for joy, seeing all that cheap unskilled labor on the OSU sideline that they'd soon be able to tap into once they leave school.

I'm sure all of your NU players are certifiable geniuses.

You're comparing cat **** to dog ****.

In all seriousness, I'd never debate the athletic prowess of OSU vs Northwestern. I mean, give Northwestern some credit. It's a school that is a fraction of the size of OSU, has almost none of the recruiting leverage that OSU does, and has academic standards impossibly higher. It just isn't possible for a school like that to compete with OSU (despite the fact that we upset you 3 or 4 years ago). Still, we beat many of the teams in Big 10. In fact, OSU was our only real blowout loss. The IU game, everyone knows, was a huge upset for us to lose. We finished 24th in the nation which is really good for a "nerd" school with a tiny stadium. Several times in the Michigan State game we really made them worry, including injuring 3 of their players, all the while sustaining none ourselves. So, OSU was really the only time we were raped this season, and let's be honest, it would be pretty sad if OSU whose greatest distinction is its sports couldn't beat a little school like Northwestern.
