Obviously any team that’s 0-10 is bound to be pretty terrible, but I think this current UMass team is pretty exceptional in how awful they are.

  • Game 1: Loss vs Temple (5-5), 42-10 (-32)
  • Game 2: Loss vs Bryant (3-7), 27-26 (-1)
  • Game 3: Loss vs Iowa (6-3), 47-7 (-40)

  • Game 6: Loss vs Kent State (4-6), 42-6 (-36)
  • Game 7: Loss vs Buffalo (5-5), 28-21 (-7)
  • Game 8: Loss vs CMU (6-4), 38-13 (-25)

The Minutemen have had some super embarrassing losses this year, getting blown out by Kent State, Temple and Akron all of whom have struggled in recent years, but in my opinion the most damning losses, the ones that really make me question if they could be the worst FBS team ever, were their week 2 loss to Bryant and their loss earlier today to Northern Illinois.

Usually when an FCS team upsets and FBS team it’s a top end team, that’s able to compete for a national title, like Tarleton State this year or Montana State and Idaho last year. That isn’t the case for Bryant. In fact, Bryant isn’t just even middle of the pack FCS football team, they are an actively bad one. Outside of their win over UMass they are 2-7 with a win coming against a DII school and a 3 point win over 1-9 Albany. UMass lost to one of the worst teams in the tier below their own.

Their Northern Illinois also stands out to me as ludicrously shocking. While the huskies were a decent team last year, they dropped off very hard this season. In their first 9 games of the year they averaged only 11 points per game and were 1-7 vs FBS competition. Going into tonight they were coming off a 42-3 loss to Toledo. Yet at home, UMass let this struggling offense score 45 points, more than doubling their previous season high, and only managed a single field goal on the other end.

I can’t imagine any FBS team worse than this one. I’m sure there were probably a team or two over the years that were at least as bad, but I can’t recall who.
