We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time. ~ Vince Lombardi

Maybe Vince is right. Maybe you did just run out of time. Maybe things just didn't go your way. Or maybe you suck so much that a representative from Hoover called and asked for tips. Any which way you dice it, you found yourself in the Bottom 10.

10. Buffalo Bulls 0-4 (0-2 MAC) trendon
Perhaps Trendon was worrying too much about hipsters forcing their iPhone philosophy on him while sipping on Starbucks and listening to My Chemical Romance that he's averaging only 11 points a game. Fuck you hipsters.

9. UNLV Rebels 1-7 (0-4 MWC) mtwasik
The Rebels can score, they just can't play defense, giving up over 32 points a game. And if UNLV continues turning the ball over more than 3 times a game like they've been doing (6th-worst in the league), they'll begin a steady climb on this list.

8. Kent State Golden Flashes 1-7 (1-4 MAC) Yragha
The Golden Flashes managed a win against Bowling Green (a team heavily considered for this list) since the last list, but dropped two more games as well. At least they finally recorded a sack AND a fumble recovery (something they hadn't done through the first 4 games).

7. Ole Miss Rebels 0-6 (0-3 SEC) tball275
The second Rebels team to find themselves on the bad list for the first time, tball and Ole Miss have suffered some tough close losses. They failed to close in games against Purdue, Auburn, and Miami (OH), games they lost by a combined 11 points.

6. Tulsa Golden Hurricane 0-6 (0-2 C-USA) tig5165
When you're third-worst in points allowed (38 per game), sometimes you just don't want to come out of the locker room. Or in this case, turn on your PS3.

5. Minnesota Golden Gophers 0-7 (0-4 Big Ten) gambit725
Dropping three spots after dropping three more games, Minnesota better stop dropping and start picking up.

4. Colorado State Rams 0-6 (0-3 MWC) krgkmg
The Rams are scoring a little bit more than the last time we talked about them, but it's not enough to translate to any wins. Their next game is against #9 on this list, UNLV. That's sure to be a barn-burner.

3. Arizona State Sun Devils 1-5 (0-3 PAC-10) beercop
The Sun Devils failed to keep it close against a fledging California team but dominated a tough Navy team 31-7 in Annapolis. Congrats, you're no longer the worst team in the NDL. Just the third-worst team.

2. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers 1-6 (0-3 Sun Belt) UCLAMac
Their sole win came via a sim against a New Mexico State team with no coach. Their opponent record is a measly 15-25, one of the worst among teams playing at least six games this season. They rank in the 100s in eight of the eleven team stat categories. There's light at the end of the tunnel in a crappy Sun Belt conference, but it seems UCLAMac's biggest problem may be just getting his opponents to actually play their games.

1. Eastern Michigan Eagles 0-7 (0-4 MAC) OutRage
There doesn't seem to be ANY light at the end of the tunnel for the Eagles. Eastern Michigan continues to get blown out and are averaging a league-worst 6.6 points per game. I'm not sure how to decipher this team, as they're only turning the ball over about once per game but holding onto the ball just as much as their opponents in terms of time of possession. There are obviously some major problems in Ypsilanti (there's that damn word again).

It's been a brutal season in Oxford. One might think I'm tanking to stick it to Houston Nutt!

good stuff bro.

The harsh tone makes me laugh. Good stuff!

Great Stuff, Its been real brutal at Eastern Michigan!

awesome read

atleast we are getting recognized for something

+1

Dude,

If you had my stick and my D, you'd only have a freakin single sack and pick as well.

Outta try it sometime.

MY NEW MOTTO: 1 & done with State

The Bottom 10 is all political.

Hey my first season in the NDL and I am on a list.... sure its the worst teams list, but hey I am on my way!

In related news, Indiana University would like to extend invitations to all schools on this list for non-con games in NDL Season 22.

Except for Buffalo. They smell.

Sounds good to me!

I seem to remember a game before that that went the way of the mighty Ball State Cardinals.

I am not going to win a game for a long while unless they (EA) change the game, which is doubtful. I steadfastly refuse to fucking throw the dink-and-dunk bullshit that 115-118 of you do. I have not completed one pass in between the hashmarks in about three seasons and I get slaughtered because of it. I am bad enough as it is, I am worse when I can't run 50% of the playbook.

Nein. I have been screaming about this since at least 08. I gave up on those things at least by 09. And I doubt I murdered you. I haven't beaten anyone soundly since they took my option offense away.

I'd say a good 60-70% of my completions are to wideouts outside the hash marks.

I try to lead by example. It is failing.
