"On the fifth day, he created college football. On the sixth day, he created the EMPIRE youtube channel. And on the seventh day, he rested"

For those curious, the worst college football team ever was probably the 1991 Prairie View A&M Panthers (FCS, then Division I-AA). They went 0-11, giving up an average of 56 PPG while only scoring 48 points all season. 8 of their opponents scored more than 48 points in their game against them, the worst being a 92-0 beatdown by Alabama State. They were shut-out 5 times, & their closest game was 23-6. Fun Fact: there is an ESPN Classic episode of "Who's #1" that names the '91 PVA&M football team as not only the worst college football team, but the worst sports team ever!

Probably the teams who lost the most games by the lowest margin. I.E. a team who went 2-10 but lost all 10 games by less than a touchdown

2012 Southern Miss finished 0-12 after finishing 2011 12-2. It is the record for the worst year-to-year downturn in DI history. The Golden Eagles lost 23 straight before winning the finale in 2013

A deep dive into the USFL would be cool, it contains the greatest rushing season in pro football ever. Hershel Walker, 1985.

Always nice to see Joe Swanson upload another vid. Great vid as always!

I just wanna say, anyone who brings up 2023 Kent state, if you actually look into how much changed before that season(new coach, because deion sanders, only 3 returning starters, like 1/3 of our recruits decommit, like 15 transfers out) while yeah we sucked. The fact that people were shocked makes 0 sense

One of the first clips of the 2015 UCF team was Deestroying kicking off when he was in college lol

Eventually i’d like to see the FCS included in this aswell, mainly because I love the idea of this series a lot.

Just to note: In 2000 UL Monroe weren’t the Warhawks they were still called the Indians, the NCAA strong armed them and other teams (except Florida State who got permission from the Seminole tribe) to change their mascots and most of those teams went with lazy names like Warhawks or RedHawks.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this channel. Great videos!

Great video however I do feel the need to point out that Lance Leopold went from directly from D3 to FBS and has done a pretty damn good job

So glad were getting more videos 🙌

Makes me feel better about Ken- you know what, comparing the worst seasons of Group of 5 teans does not make me feel better about my SEC Wildcats

I was just hoping Tulane wasn't here. We were safe thankfully.

Was so excited for a new upload I watched your video game related stuff, you deserve to have this channel blow up all your videos are quality

I go to Ohio University and 2023’s Kent State’s punter got benched during the game against us. We had a field day in the student section

Stumbled on this channel. High quality stuff my.dude

I am both relieved and surprised that my Western Michigan broncos aren’t on this list, specifically with their 2013 season with their only win being against UMass. I mean I’ll take it but that was a DARK time

I was at the OU @ Tulsa game in 2002. It was a Friday night ESPN nationally televised game; OU was only up 3-0 at halftime. OU ended up covering the spread in the second half, but it was a weird game. I agree that Tulsa team wasn't one of the worst.

What about a video on the best winless teams. Or worst undefeated team?

When are we getting the second part to the UCF video

"It is perhaps the most perplexing coaching hire I've seen, and I'm a Florida fan." Feels.

I’m a proud Temple University Alumni & we had some good runs including an AAC championship in the legit “power 6” days on the conference in ‘16. But Temple is headed in a bad direction since the NIL especially. And if you go back to the 90s when for some god forsaken reason the Owls were in the then very competitive Big East & we’re boat raced by every program in that conference. I’m sure there is a 90s or 2000s Temple football team that could be in the running for worst of all time.

Too bad you didn't go back to the 70's when TCU delivered 1-10, 1-10, 0-11 seasons 74-76. They owned the NCAA longest losing streak TWICE in 4 years.

For division III football it would be my Alma Mater, Earlham College. We went three seasons winless in the easiest division in all levels of college football, and then they just shuttered the program for good.

Now you need to go even deeper to FCS and D2. There are some AWFUL stretches

I just want to say one thing, and one thing only ULM Mentioned!

You should combine all the scores from each year to see the best and worst team through all years in the sample.

Re: Akron 2019: I'm surprised you didn't mention that it is possible to jump from D3 to FBS as I'd consider Lance Leopold to have done well both at Buffalo and Kansas. It's not a bjg deal but I figure this comment would be a worthy offering for Lord Algorithm 😁

I thought Rutgers was the worst team ever

Leave my Golden Panthers alone 😂😂😂 talk about our Soccer team or School of Business

As a UTEP Miner fan myself, I'm so glad we fired that clown. I was fed up with him but I think with our new HC, we could go somewhere?

Nah, 2023 Northern Michigan is the worst College Football team of the 21st century.

CAL POLY MENTIONED RAHHHH If you ever did this and included FCS I can almost guarantee you a couple of Cal Poly teams would be on there they have been abysmal since joining Division 1

1916 Cumberland College will forever hold the distinction of the worst team ever. .000 win % with an average margin of defeat of 222 points

very surprised none of the Chris Ash Rutgers teams made this list

I wonder what the worst bowl eligible and worst bowl ineligible teams are? 🤔

Damn, the shamecocks were just one season away from topping the list with their nations longest losing streak being snapped in 2000 going 8-4. I was really looking forward to them being shat upon.

As a fan of MAC football I’m not surprised at Akron being one of the worst 5 teams of the 21st century…I am shocked they didn’t show up more on here(I was expecting 4+ times) they’ve consistently been one of if not the worst team in the MAC.

Woah, hold on there. For a bit the Wyoming team changed from the 2000 team to the 2016 one. I was like, "Wait...didn't we play in the conference championship that year, and have Josh Allen? Bad offense in 2016?" I think it was just an error though.

I knew the 2000 Wyoming squad was going to be on here. I lived in Laramie at the time and got to watch those games live! ...Still don't know how I stayed a fan of the Cowboys. Vic Koenning's entire tenure should have gone on here. Even by Wyoming Cowboys standards, that man was a joke of a head coach.
