@@huebus No, I meant what I said. OP stated the worst cfb team was the NY Jets, which is why I said they might be a contender for that if it weren't for their defense being top 12 lol. Glad you understand their defense is one of the best, that's exactly what I was saying.
On top of the 0-12 UW season, here is what else sports fans in the state of Washington were treated to in 2008: a 2-11 WSU team; 101-loss Mariners; 4-12 Seahawks; the SuperSonics relocation to Oklahoma City
One of the worst teams that comes to my mind is the DII Northeastern State Riverhawks. In 2019 they went winless, losing every game by at least 50 points every game, losing by more than 80 twice, and getting shutout numerous times. They went winless again the next year
My badgers can't seem to beat any team in year 1 under Fickell, it's been a surprising disaster. I'd very much like to see them play the Northeastern State Riverhawks. It'd be nice to get the confidence up by dropping 200 points
@kadeshrider1746: If that is the same Northeastern State in Oklahoma, they became known as the Alma Mater of a Powerhouse Southern Football Star turned Pro Wrestler in the late great Doug Furnas. He was a surreal Athlete.😔🎤🏈🤼♂️B.W.
as a kansas student i knew we were gonna be on there multiple times. honestly, thank you for using the sexy legs mascot, which is objectively the best mascot.
2020 Vandy was also notable for another reason: they ran out of placekickers because of global pandemic and all, so they asked the women's soccer goalkeeper to play. Which is how Sarah Fuller became the first woman to score points in Power Five football when she went 2/2 on extra points versus Tennessee. That only happened in her second game though, because Vandy got blanked 41-0 by Mizzou in her first game.
As a Husker fan, I think you have every right to celebrate, considering the caliber at which the B1G is supposed to play. Every year, it's hard to figure out who is good, but has a bad record and who lucked out because we all just beat each other.
You all are bowl eligible playing a solid P5 schedule. There are far worse fates. Too bad Schiano elected to bail for the NFL when he had the program doing well years back. Just now digging out of that hole.
As soon as I saw this title my thought was “2008 huskies” this was the year I began gaining sentience and I had to watch this team. It definitely makes me appreciate the success we have now. I don’t ever want to go back to those times
As a Duck fan, I desperately want to point and laugh and rub your face in it. But you beat us this year. And last year...And we play again in a few days. I feel like doing that would just be ASKING for bad karma. So I'll refrain. For now...

I was on campus for the 2018 Central Michigan University Chippewas football season, and that felt like the lowest of the low. * 1-11, the 4th worst record in FBS * Only win was against Maine * Gave Kansas their first road win in 46 games in a 31-7 blowout * Scored 15 points per game while giving up 27.3 * Coach John Bonamego's wife was banned from the stadium after drunkenly rushing the press box CMU was never a great college football team while I was on campus, but that year was just sad all around.
Loved seeing my Hawkeyes in the video briefly, even it was as an example of perfect mediocrity I will take it! That Pinstripe Bowl win was actually Iowa’s first Bowl win in a while so I remember that season (also that Ohio State win was miraculous).
I had been a casual football fan since about 2013 but it was really around 2016 where I really began to get into it… I just so happened to make the mistake of being a Rutgers fan at the time. Yes I did witness 78-0 in person. It’s a miracle those 4 years kept me a fan (at least 2017 wasn’t completely terrible). Them even going 6-6 this year has given me so much joy knowing what the pits of despair truly are.
The NCAA came down on Washington because Neuheisel was apparently involved with betting pools, that led them to have to hire coaches from within the program because Neuheisel sued both UW and the NCAA. The NCAA forgot to put that in the rulebook so Neuheisel was wrongfully terminated. The NCAA actually cost UW because they had to fire their coach without merit. Neuheisel was considered one of the best coaches in the country at that time.
Its incredible what Jedd Fisch has done for Arizona, since 2021 was his first season in the program and now they are #15 in the CFP rankings and have a long-shot chance of winning the PAC12 going into rivalry weekend.
Tennessee fan here, I feel you. Even though we lose every year to the same three teams (Kentucky has beaten Florida more than us in the last 20 years.... are you kidding me?!?) I at least don't feel so bad now
I was at that crapple cup. Most boring game I've ever attended. You better believe we partied our asses off in Pullman like we just won the conference championship
Fun fact: I was actually at that 2017 Kansas-Baylor game. It was the most miserable game I’ve ever watched. I remember my dad telling me that there was no possible way we could lose to that Baylor team. I remember leaving memorial stadium that afternoon just so shaken at how bad a college football program could be.
Nice effort at both ends, the research and the presentation. The power formula is very good for identifying teams that did NOTHING right. I'd suggest only two things to fix before the future DVD version. One is to break down the period 2000-2019 by four-year intervals. A season is too short a time statistically to identify committed mediocrity. (You could do two- year periods instead and throw in 2021-22 as well; in any case, I'd give 2020 a miss in the name of good taste.) Two is to stop referring to the New Year's Six bowls as the "New York Six." You did so at least twice in the video. Keep the voice regardless! And double-check for Wake Forest appearances on the list: I was there for undergrad, and I was astonished that they didn't make the ten worst team-seasons even once. :)
Nah, look at York University in Canada. I go there. We haven't won in 4 years. We're on like a 24 game losing streak. I hate the coaches with every fibre of my being.
2021 was my rookie year in the arizona band and i couldn’t ask for a worst/best year it was so chaotic we went to vegas vs BYU as the season opener. the whole season was cursed
You know that 2008 team was bad because my coug family still brings it up whenever we beat them. They forget when I was growing up, I rooted for the cougs and also laughed at the huskies in 2008, just happened to end up at UW for school a decade later
First - I love your editing style, particularly your musical accompaniment, and I'm excited to watch more of your videos. Second - I was in the marching band at the University of Kansas from 2013-17. It certainly felt like those teams from 2015-17 belong in their spots in this video. I'm surprised that the 0-12 team from 2015 isn't the lowest, but the 2017 season was absolutely miserable, and I got to watch every snap of every home game and two road games! That Baylor game may have been the most miserable afternoon of my college career. They tried to announce a new stadium renovation (and I think they retired a former player's jersey?) at halftime, but nearly everyone in the crowd had already bailed on the game, and there weren't that many people in the stands to begin with. Those of us who went through the 2010s certainly appreciate our recent turnaround into competence over the past two years!
Any college can have a single awful season. Let me introduce you to the 1998-2002 University of Minnesota-Morris Cougars. In the 1990s, the UMM Cougars were having a rough run of terrible seasons. From 1991 to 1996, their best season was 2-9, with a 0-10 season in 1995. In 1997, they posted a record of 3-7, their best in years, and they started their 1998 campaign with a hard-fought 25-22 win against Mayville State. Then UMM lost their next 53 games in a row. The Cougars finished 1998 with a 1-9 record. From 1999-2002 their record was 0-11 every season for four consecutive seasons. And these were not close matches. All but one of these 53 games was lost by multiple scores, and most of them were massive blowouts. Across those five seasons (excluding their lone win at the start of '98) the Cougars scored only 535 total points while giving up 2398 points. In 2000, Bemidji State scored more points against them in a single game (a 70-0 thrashing) than UMM scored in their entire 11-game season (66 total points), and that still wasn't even close to the most lopsided loss the Cougars suffered during this five-year stretch. After 2002, the powers that be had seen enough and UMM was relegated from DII to DIII football to face a conference of weak Bible colleges, where the Cougars were finally free to become... merely mediocre.
Pitt is so uninteresting that they can't even make a "worst team of all time" list. I just want to win something, even if it's the top bad team of all time award :(
I know none of them are recent, but hey, you guys have won 9 natties! Read up on those teams, I'm sure that could satisfy something in you. Hopefully Pitt will get back to their winning ways soon.
As a LSU fan, having others bring up 2019 always puts a smile on my face😂😂 that being said, I was afraid that their 2020/2021 teams were going to be on here. By far the worst Tiger teams since the 90's. Thank God for the existence of Vandy.
Those teams were infuriating to watch. It’s hilarious they both somehow beat Florida as heavy underdogs both times. Our defense this year might be even worse than those teams, but the amazing offense overcomes their ineptitude.
@@huntertrum3658 playing 11 SEC teams is harder than any schedule I can think of in recent memory. Wasn’t no Vandy or South Carolina on that schedule either. UGA, Florida, A&M , Ole Miss and a Bama all got January bowl games. Hell, A&M finished #4 overall. ( 😂 and now Jimbo’s gone) I can’t remember if every conference played but we did beat 6 teams that ended up in major bowl games (The 4 SEC teams, ND and Ohio St) and we beat them all by 15+ ‘cept Florida. (Kyle Trask, Kyle Pitts, Kadrius Toney, Treyvon Grimes and maybe Justin Shorter?) Mac Jones broke the LSU NC passing records set by Burrow (most passing yards/TDs in a NC game) and yards (maybe TDs too?) by a WR with Devonta Smith, who broke said receiving records by halftime. Bama’s RB had more receiving yards than any Ohio St WR in that game. Out of the four Heisman finalist the top 3 were all Bama players with a Bama player winning it, our o-line won the Joe Moore award/LT won the Outland trophy/Center won the Remington, RB won Doak, WR Hesiman/Biletnikoff, (handful of others) QB won the Davey O’Brien (Mac broke the single season NCAA passer rating and completion % ) I’m not gonna seriously say that Bama’s ‘20 offense was without a doubt the better offense, but I’ll argue to the death they were at least just as good. Anyways, genuinely hoping Jayden Daniels wins the Hesiman. He definitely deserves it and I hope my Falcons pick him up. Easily the #1 QB in the country IMO and if LSU had a defense then no one would’ve beaten ‘em. Good luck in yall’s bowl game.
I’m a huge Washington Husky fan, as I grew up less than an hour away from Seattle. That ‘08 season was truly a low point as a sports fan as I think I watched at least a decent portion of every game that year. It makes this season we’re having that much sweeter!
21’ Arizona was my freshman year of college and with being in the band I was at every game. Never thought we’d actually be considering the possibility of a pac-12 championship this soon
Southern Miss had a weird winless season, as well, under Ellis Johnson. They had gone 12-0 the previous year under Larry Fedora. Johnson was fired immediately after going winless. Wanna say this was in 2012.
5:51 Shoutouts to Rutgers for making it on the list for *two different conferences.* I like that you came up with a mathematical formula to attempt quantifying all this (and speed up the process of trying to list them, no doubt), and gave the formula a "elite" and "average" test run before getting into the nitty-gritty. College football's power scaling is notoriously wacky, so this is a nice way of trying to quantify that. And keeping in mind that *even these teams* are generally expected to beat FCS or Division II schools really goes to show how many levels there are to it...
You should have included Cal in those without success. Not Rose Bowl since '59, no Rose Bowl victory since '39, and as you mentioned the only team to lose to Colorado last year and Arizona the year before that. How Justin Wilcox has kept his job for so long tells you the priority Cal admins place on a winning program...
Cal got cheated out of a Rose Bowl bid in 2004. Ever hear of a guy named Aaron Rodgers? Conference Co-Champions in 2006. Ever hear of a guy named Marshawn Lynch? On the other hand there's no excusing the Sonny Dykes disaster as being responsible for the demise of Cal football on the field and loss of season ticket holders despite a stadium renovation. Wilcox is mid and should be replaced for his dissonance.
I remember that winless Washington season all too well. The only bright spot was Jake Locker. Still one of my favorite QBs of all time, but he was stuck in a terrible football program. If he wasn't a hometown kid he woulda transferred for sure
Sonny Dykes effectively killed Cal football after the good times of the 2000's. It's amazing he's lasted as long as he has in the head coaching profession. I predict he won't be with TCU in 2026.
2008 Washington huskies was a pretty bad sqaud. For me Personally as a USC Trojans Fan we had some really bad teams in the 90s that i remember as a little kid but holy shit that 2021 was something else. You gotta back to the 1950s to find the bottom of the barrel SC teams.
Not sure if mentioned, but that whole Nebraska wasn't the worst in the conference, then you display Northwestern's 1-11 and us Husker fans know that one win came against us!
I’m a Husky and I think it’s worth mentioning that Jake Locker was injured early on in that season and that hurt us a lot. Also, it’s worth telling the story of when the Huskies scored a touchdown at the end of the game against #15 BYU and Locker spiked the ball, got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, and the kicker missed the PAT. The Huskies lost that game on that kick. I’m not salty about it, I wasn’t very old when it happened, but I still think on average that team doesn’t go winless and it took a truly special season for that to happen! It was an awful team defined by a few awful moments. Willingham did a crazy amount of damage to a storied program’s history in pretty short time.
I said it back then when Locker got hurt. Yea even if he had stayed healthy they weren’t a very good team and Willingham may have still been fired, but that team probably wins at least 3 games.
Dudes first example is the first game I vividly remember, as a young kid, watching Ohio State lose to Iowa was devastating, I remember after that game, my dad, still wearing a crew neck OSU sweater from the 80’s put up the Halloween decorations with my family completely silent. A stark reminder that your team could lose on any given Saturday
Iowa has only beat OSU 4 or 5 times in the last 60 years. So, those episodes of suffering are few and far between for OSU fans and the occasional victory is oh so sweet for the Hawkeye fans.
I am surprised the 2019 Razorbacks ranked so high. The Chad Morris years were truly died-and-went-to-hell horrible, embarrassing, disgusting, sickening, abominable. Remember when ranking the worst teams, those are some mothers' sons fumbling punts and dropping easy passes, and those people in the stands are the mothers.
I was a UW fan during the dreaded 0-12 season, I still have a autographed ball from picture day, and the funny part is there is a solid amount of future NFL players on that ball 😂 they wouldn’t have been good but also wouldn’t have went 0-12 if Jake Locker hadn’t got hurt early in the year, first game of the year against BYU he tied the game at the end and then got a controversial spiking the ball penalty which led to a missed PAT and loss 💀 then when he got hurt, the replacement Ronnie Fouch was probably the worst QB I’ve seen
Highly enjoyable voice over, thanks for making the video.. I remember the 08 UW team vividly. My dad has season tickets for about 10 years during that time.
All time video, just unfortunate I had to relive the 2018 fake fair catch that North Texas pulled against my Arkansas Razorbacks at home… Now let us all forget again please.
Here’s the big asterisk on your ending note of “no team is bad forever”: None of it applies in the post-NIL/Free Transfer Portal era. Historically low teams like WSU and Rutgers aren’t able to pay players and coaches to stay now. They just get poached by the big schools. It’s one thing to get lucky one year and find a good coach that puts together a decent recruiting class to bring the team up to 7-8 wins. But as soon as that year is over, the coach gets hired by an SEC school, the players all transfer to get their big payday elsewhere, and the low level team has to start all over again. It’s impossible to string together winning seasons in this era since it’s open season every December
The fact that 2 years ago Arizona only won 1 game and was the 3rd worse team in the modern era of cfb, and now they are 8-3, ranked top 25, with a chance of making the pac 12 championship absolutely BLOWS my mind. They went from 1-11 to 8-3in the span of 2 years, that is absolutely insane.
Lost to Miss St… That’s pretty cool for Arizona but it’s making the committee think a 1 loss or undefeated pac-12 is equal to a 1 loss SEC, which is hurting my Tide despite the fact we’d beat the everliving $hit outta Washington or Oregon.
@@louieo.blevinsmusic4197 Arizona lost because of Jayden De Laura who threw 4 interceptions in the first half and they still only lost by 7. If Noah Fifita started Arizona would've won by a lot.
Prediction: Indiana. Just since you said its power 5 teams. I can think of only 2 good years from them, both very recent. Edit: oh wait you’re talking about a single season. No fucking clue then.
I remember the 2021 Arizona Team because I was a student at Sam and we stomped Northern Arizona and saw they beat Arizona and thought crazy they must be real bad
It's really funny to me that some traditional basketball powers (Duke, Kansas) and teams which had very productive years on the hardwood (Virginia, Baylor, Arizona, Indiana) either immediately before or after the abominable football seasons shown here.
I’ll save you a lot of time. The worst college football team right now is the New York Jets.
dis is crazy
thought it was the panthers
Jets might be a contender if their defense wasn't like.. top 12 in the league.
@@Dokkalvar37? You mean if there OFFENSE could put up more than 10 points a game. Their defense is one of the best
@@huebus No, I meant what I said. OP stated the worst cfb team was the NY Jets, which is why I said they might be a contender for that if it weren't for their defense being top 12 lol. Glad you understand their defense is one of the best, that's exactly what I was saying.
On top of the 0-12 UW season, here is what else sports fans in the state of Washington were treated to in 2008: a 2-11 WSU team; 101-loss Mariners; 4-12 Seahawks; the SuperSonics relocation to Oklahoma City
4-12 seahawks seems light in comparison to the rest of the list but yeah lol
Also everyone lost their jobs lol
@@phillipisayev1273 lmao true
The UW team was probably the most talented winless team you will ever see, their coach was the biggest fraud ever.
might be the worst year for a state ever
One of the worst teams that comes to my mind is the DII Northeastern State Riverhawks. In 2019 they went winless, losing every game by at least 50 points every game, losing by more than 80 twice, and getting shutout numerous times. They went winless again the next year
Same with 2017 & 18. They only played one game in 2020, a 38-0 loss to newly promoted to FCS Tarleton State
My badgers can't seem to beat any team in year 1 under Fickell, it's been a surprising disaster. I'd very much like to see them play the Northeastern State Riverhawks. It'd be nice to get the confidence up by dropping 200 points

living in Nashville, that was a fun moment. My alma mater (Kansas) was winless, as was local Vanderbilt. So that little thing was nice to see.
I didn't realize she was a soccer player. A cool story that sounds like something from a century earlier
Can we just talk about how BADASS that 2000's Rutgers logo is?
As a Rutgers fan, I celebrated not being the worst B1G team. Why did I think I could celebrate.

As a Washington Husky fan, I knew the moment I clicked, it was the 2008 team, I just wanted to see who else was almost as bad.
Relax. You're in the B1G now as if 2008 never happened.
Amazing how Washington has turned around. Championship Bound!
Hey empire. GA Southern called. Just wanted to check in on you! 🤣🤣🤣
Pitt is so uninteresting that they can't even make a "worst team of all time" list. I just want to win something, even if it's the top bad team of all time award :(
I know none of them are recent, but hey, you guys have won 9 natties! Read up on those teams, I'm sure that could satisfy something in you. Hopefully Pitt will get back to their winning ways soon.
Great video man! I went to every Rutgers home game 2018 when I was a student, that's when I became a basketball fan
As a LSU fan, having others bring up 2019 always puts a smile on my face😂😂 that being said, I was afraid that their 2020/2021 teams were going to be on here. By far the worst Tiger teams since the 90's. Thank God for the existence of Vandy.
Those teams were infuriating to watch. It’s hilarious they both somehow beat Florida as heavy underdogs both times. Our defense this year might be even worse than those teams, but the amazing offense overcomes their ineptitude.
‘20 Bama offense was better. 😉 Roll Tide!
@@louieo.blevinsmusic4197 '20 bama didn't face anywhere near the level of competition as '19 LSU😉
@@huntertrum3658 playing 11 SEC teams is harder than any schedule I can think of in recent memory. Wasn’t no Vandy or South Carolina on that schedule either. UGA, Florida, A&M , Ole Miss and a Bama all got January bowl games. Hell, A&M finished #4 overall. ( 😂 and now Jimbo’s gone) I can’t remember if every conference played but we did beat 6 teams that ended up in major bowl games (The 4 SEC teams, ND and Ohio St) and we beat them all by 15+ ‘cept Florida. (Kyle Trask, Kyle Pitts, Kadrius Toney, Treyvon Grimes and maybe Justin Shorter?) Mac Jones broke the LSU NC passing records set by Burrow (most passing yards/TDs in a NC game) and yards (maybe TDs too?) by a WR with Devonta Smith, who broke said receiving records by halftime. Bama’s RB had more receiving yards than any Ohio St WR in that game. Out of the four Heisman finalist the top 3 were all Bama players with a Bama player winning it, our o-line won the Joe Moore award/LT won the Outland trophy/Center won the Remington, RB won Doak, WR Hesiman/Biletnikoff, (handful of others) QB won the Davey O’Brien (Mac broke the single season NCAA passer rating and completion % ) I’m not gonna seriously say that Bama’s ‘20 offense was without a doubt the better offense, but I’ll argue to the death they were at least just as good. Anyways, genuinely hoping Jayden Daniels wins the Hesiman. He definitely deserves it and I hope my Falcons pick him up. Easily the #1 QB in the country IMO and if LSU had a defense then no one would’ve beaten ‘em. Good luck in yall’s bowl game.
this mf got the most powerful voice i’ve ever heard
that happens when you pitch your voice down in post to make it sound deep lol
As a KU fan, I knew we would be here several times, but it makes the turnaround lately feel that much better.
I’m a huge Washington Husky fan, as I grew up less than an hour away from Seattle. That ‘08 season was truly a low point as a sports fan as I think I watched at least a decent portion of every game that year. It makes this season we’re having that much sweeter!
This video has big Jon Bois energy.
Was going to comment this, figure I’d find a comment to boost because damn was this a joyride to watch as a goofer fan
21’ Arizona was my freshman year of college and with being in the band I was at every game. Never thought we’d actually be considering the possibility of a pac-12 championship this soon
its amazing the turnaround fisch has had, glad yall are doing well (especially cause fisch is a former gator)
I'm right there with you with Kansas man. Love Arizona and have for a long time. Fifita and Fisch are Them.
Commenting because this video deserves more traction. Great video!
Cal. My Golden Bears is just pain
Not when Aaron Rodgers was on the field. The good ole days.
I know UCF was G5 at the time, but the 2015 winless season definitely deserves an honorary mention
Southern Miss had a weird winless season, as well, under Ellis Johnson. They had gone 12-0 the previous year under Larry Fedora. Johnson was fired immediately after going winless. Wanna say this was in 2012.
@@michaelstein751012-2* and it was in 2012
Syracuse always feels like the worst team.......
5:51 Shoutouts to Rutgers for making it on the list for *two different conferences.*
I like that you came up with a mathematical formula to attempt quantifying all this (and speed up the process of trying to list them, no doubt), and gave the formula a "elite" and "average" test run before getting into the nitty-gritty.
College football's power scaling is notoriously wacky, so this is a nice way of trying to quantify that.
And keeping in mind that *even these teams* are generally expected to beat FCS or Division II schools really goes to show how many levels there are to it...
You should have included Cal in those without success. Not Rose Bowl since '59, no Rose Bowl victory since '39, and as you mentioned the only team to lose to Colorado last year and Arizona the year before that. How Justin Wilcox has kept his job for so long tells you the priority Cal admins place on a winning program...
i mean cal had their moments with tedford in the 2000s. if he’s using winning the big ten west and acc coastal as success those count
Cal got cheated out of a Rose Bowl bid in 2004. Ever hear of a guy named Aaron Rodgers? Conference Co-Champions in 2006. Ever hear of a guy named Marshawn Lynch? On the other hand there's no excusing the Sonny Dykes disaster as being responsible for the demise of Cal football on the field and loss of season ticket holders despite a stadium renovation. Wilcox is mid and should be replaced for his dissonance.
The part about Iowa being mid is real asf the only thing we excel at is putting out TE talent that just gets overshadowed by Travis Kelce…
I remember that winless Washington season all too well. The only bright spot was Jake Locker. Still one of my favorite QBs of all time, but he was stuck in a terrible football program. If he wasn't a hometown kid he woulda transferred for sure
Might have to update that 2019 Arkansas stat. I’m thinking this years Arkansas team might be worse than that…
Sonny Dykes effectively killed Cal football after the good times of the 2000's. It's amazing he's lasted as long as he has in the head coaching profession. I predict he won't be with TCU in 2026.
Football programs don’t get much worse than 2000-07 Duke
2008 Washington huskies was a pretty bad sqaud. For me Personally as a USC Trojans Fan we had some really bad teams in the 90s that i remember as a little kid but holy shit that 2021 was something else. You gotta back to the 1950s to find the bottom of the barrel SC teams.
Jesus Christ is The Savior for us!!!❤
2020 shouldn’t count
The '12 Southern Miss Golden Eagles were horrible. They had a 0-12 record
This was fantastic, Jon Bois esque content. Also painful as an Arkansas fan.
Why did people see this video and say… “nah”
Not sure if mentioned, but that whole Nebraska wasn't the worst in the conference, then you display Northwestern's 1-11 and us Husker fans know that one win came against us!
Temple

Temple
UTEP football
Edit: the head coach was just fired
Maybe we’ll finally get a positive season 😭
I’m a Northwestern fan and you just gave me war flashbacks.
The worst college football team is D3 Heidelberg 😂
I’m a Husky and I think it’s worth mentioning that Jake Locker was injured early on in that season and that hurt us a lot. Also, it’s worth telling the story of when the Huskies scored a touchdown at the end of the game against #15 BYU and Locker spiked the ball, got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, and the kicker missed the PAT. The Huskies lost that game on that kick.
I’m not salty about it, I wasn’t very old when it happened, but I still think on average that team doesn’t go winless and it took a truly special season for that to happen!
It was an awful team defined by a few awful moments. Willingham did a crazy amount of damage to a storied program’s history in pretty short time.
I said it back then when Locker got hurt. Yea even if he had stayed healthy they weren’t a very good team and Willingham may have still been fired, but that team probably wins at least 3 games.
2008 at UW was my senior year, and I’m proud of that year. It took guts to witness that Husky team.
1915 Cumberland College. Average margin of defeat was 222 ppg
Big ten west did not deserve that😂, your videos are awesome, you’re about to blow up man, congratulations
Dudes first example is the first game I vividly remember, as a young kid, watching Ohio State lose to Iowa was devastating, I remember after that game, my dad, still wearing a crew neck OSU sweater from the 80’s put up the Halloween decorations with my family completely silent. A stark reminder that your team could lose on any given Saturday
Iowa has only beat OSU 4 or 5 times in the last 60 years. So, those episodes of suffering are few and far between for OSU fans and the occasional victory is oh so sweet for the Hawkeye fans.
God I hope you can code because if you can’t…. all this calculating by hand… Jesus
The worst is clearly the Auburn Tigers in the last minute of the game when they’re ahead of Alabama
Thank you for making it clear that Texas A&M aren't THAT bad
I am surprised the 2019 Razorbacks ranked so high. The Chad Morris years were truly died-and-went-to-hell horrible, embarrassing, disgusting, sickening, abominable. Remember when ranking the worst teams, those are some mothers' sons fumbling punts and dropping easy passes, and those people in the stands are the mothers.
I was a UW fan during the dreaded 0-12 season, I still have a autographed ball from picture day, and the funny part is there is a solid amount of future NFL players on that ball 😂 they wouldn’t have been good but also wouldn’t have went 0-12 if Jake Locker hadn’t got hurt early in the year, first game of the year against BYU he tied the game at the end and then got a controversial spiking the ball penalty which led to a missed PAT and loss 💀 then when he got hurt, the replacement Ronnie Fouch was probably the worst QB I’ve seen
It's nice to hear that Nebraska is not part of the worst teams in college football. Go Huskers
Vandy also dodged 2020 UGA when vandy cancelled at the end of the there score would have been worse
I'm born and raised in Atlanta....Georgia Tech person as anyone could be but 2021 yellow jackets 😠😪 what was I watching on the field seriously
Highly enjoyable voice over, thanks for making the video.. I remember the 08 UW team vividly. My dad has season tickets for about 10 years during that time.
Excellent video my guy keep it going!
Cumberland vs Georgia Tech
you’re like if secret base met emplemon. love it! keep up the good work
It’s like if someone who was trying to remain anonymous on a news interview was narrating this video.
4:26 as a Hawkeye fan I will say that season for being 7-5 was still fun to watch
All time video, just unfortunate I had to relive the 2018 fake fair catch that North Texas pulled against my Arkansas Razorbacks at home… Now let us all forget again please.
Here’s the big asterisk on your ending note of “no team is bad forever”: None of it applies in the post-NIL/Free Transfer Portal era. Historically low teams like WSU and Rutgers aren’t able to pay players and coaches to stay now. They just get poached by the big schools. It’s one thing to get lucky one year and find a good coach that puts together a decent recruiting class to bring the team up to 7-8 wins. But as soon as that year is over, the coach gets hired by an SEC school, the players all transfer to get their big payday elsewhere, and the low level team has to start all over again. It’s impossible to string together winning seasons in this era since it’s open season every December
The fact that 2 years ago Arizona only won 1 game and was the 3rd worse team in the modern era of cfb, and now they are 8-3, ranked top 25, with a chance of making the pac 12 championship absolutely BLOWS my mind. They went from 1-11 to 8-3in the span of 2 years, that is absolutely insane.
Lost to Miss St… That’s pretty cool for Arizona but it’s making the committee think a 1 loss or undefeated pac-12 is equal to a 1 loss SEC, which is hurting my Tide despite the fact we’d beat the everliving $hit outta Washington or Oregon.
@@louieo.blevinsmusic4197 Arizona lost because of Jayden De Laura who threw 4 interceptions in the first half and they still only lost by 7. If Noah Fifita started Arizona would've won by a lot.
@@igonzo0728Exactly lol Fifita is an absolute beast
Is there a block on “New Year’s Six Bowls”?
Prediction: Indiana. Just since you said its power 5 teams. I can think of only 2 good years from them, both very recent.
Edit: oh wait you’re talking about a single season. No fucking clue then.
You'd be correct on Indiana if it were all time. Most losses by a power 5 team, first team to 700 losses.
That’s an awesome formula you brewed up. Any chance you could share with us the spreadsheet you made to judge the teams?
I cannot get over the voice effect for some reason 2:30 had me in tears and we haven’t even gotten into the meat of the video 😂
thank you algorithm
University of New Mexico is at the bottom of the barrel…
Jesus saves
Im glad it wasn't my team, sometimes it feels like it could have been
Just remember ALL CAPS when you say the man's name
I remember the 2021 Arizona Team because I was a student at Sam and we stomped Northern Arizona and saw they beat Arizona and thought crazy they must be real bad
It's really funny to me that some traditional basketball powers (Duke, Kansas) and teams which had very productive years on the hardwood (Virginia, Baylor, Arizona, Indiana) either immediately before or after the abominable football seasons shown here.
Something is different about this video, Jon Bois
“At least there’s still basketball” that’s what I tell myself as a houston fan
