  • The best 3-9 team in College Football history is easily the 2021 Nebraska Cornhuskers. This team was a statistical outlier in multiple ways. Not only did they outscore all of their opponents by 63 points (335-272), but they also tied with all of their Big Ten opponents (239-239) despite going just 1-8 in Big Ten play. They beat Northwestern by 49 points, and then lost eight Big Ten games by a combined 49 points. They also played a very tough schedule, and came close to beating multiple top teams. Watch the entire 12 minutes video to see how close they came to beating teams like Michigan State, Michigan, Ohio State, and Iowa. The fact that Nebraska outscored all of their opponents by 63 points and nearly beat multiple top 25 teams makes it hard to argue that they are not the best 3-9 team in college football history.

    I think this one is hard to argue against. Nebraska outscored all of their opponents by 63 and tied with all Big Ten opponents despite going 1-8 in Big Ten play (they beat Northwestern 56-7 and lost 8 Big Ten games by a combined 49 points). They were also very competitive with every top 25 team they played. Did you guys like this style of video? I haven’t done a season recap video like this before so let me know if there’s anything I could do to improve.

To beat a team like Northwestern in a blowout should mean you're good enough to beat at least a few decent teams, but we didn't, yet losing to teams like Illinois and Minnesota should mean you get blown out by the really good teams, yet we didn't.

    So I'm a student at Nebraska rn. Went to every home game, watched every away game. Was there on that first Michigan drive when it was deafening. Drove up to Minnesota to watch that awful loss. And I can say without a doubt Nebraska is as close to the cusp of being "good" as you can get. New hires in WR coach Mickey Joseph, OL coach Donovan Raiola and OC Mark Whipple give me great hope for next season. I think our kryptonite is our special teams, which have given up over 50 combined points on missed extra points, field goals or punt returns. That's absolutely terrible, and taking away even 1 special teams play wins the games against Michigan State and probably Wisconsin. For a 3-9 team that stadium was at 95% capacity to above every single game this season. I hope the Huskers can pull it together cause I know all of us fans want a winning season so bad we can taste it. Thanks for the video PSC!

      I'll believe it when I see it. Frost at the bare minimum needs to make/win a bowl game next season if he wants to keep his job, especially after so many fans blaming the SoS this season for the record. Next season is a cakewalk comparatively, Oklahoma is even gutted next season with a new staff and no Rattler. No coach has taken a down team and turned a program around after four consecutive losing seasons. I just don't think Frost has it in him. His refusal to even hire a special teams coach should have gotten him fired this year.

    Using the SEASON point differential is meaningless given that they can molly-whop a 4-8 Buffalo, 3-9 Northwestern and 6-5 Fordham to pad their stats.
    If you wanted to show how good they are, you should have used the point differential of -36 points against SIX teams in the top 25. That's a pretty nuts stat in and of itself. Or the fact that 8 of their 9 losses were 1 possession, and 5 of those that were 1 possession were top 25 teams.
