Yeah, because winning the Big12 conference 6 out of the last 10 years is really underachieving.

Not to mention Oregon State begins the year ranked somewhere between 20-25 and finishes about there. I actually think they tend to overachieve with the talent they get recruiting wise.
You're probably right. You would know the Oregon State program better than I.

I sometimes think they are underachievers because they are the only team that has had consistent success against USC the last 7 years but always seem to lose 3 or 4 other games.

Oklahoma, USC and Ohio State are expected to win every game no matter what or they are underachievers.

LSU is allowed to lose to Kentucky. Florida is allowed to lose to Mississipi.

But OSU can't lose to Purdue, USC can't lose Oregon State and Oklahoma can't lose to Colorado.

And I feel bad for Boise?

I wouldn't sweat it. Overtly, I think little about them and wish them nothing but failure.

My Ducks are up to #7. Now, we need all y'all's teams ahead of us to lose so we can move on up.

WV is the only one that comes to mind. You don't make it to BCS games by underachieving. There are many reasons for bowl game losses, underachieving is rarely the case.

Did Texas underachieve last year? No, they got beat by a great team.

Did OU underachieve the year before that? No, they got beat by a great team.

It goes on and on.

Ohio State has won about four or five BCS games in the last decade.
