Count the number of ranked teams. At least they challenge themselves. They spoil a couple teams' seasons every year and they'll be guarenteed to receive a television contract, if not from NBC, from ABC, CBS, hell PBS, anyone.
It also helps that they can play absolutely incredible football at times. (IE: Almost every win last year, seeing as though it was come from behind, last second, HOLY COW! Football.)
So in other words, who gives a shit if they're over-rated? Texas has been overrated ever since I can remember because they keep choking in big games. And choking badly mind you. At least Notre Dame can make it interesting.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
