Ranking the 10 worst teams in college football, according to CBS Sports

Deservedly so, the best college football teams in the country get the most national attention. Winning brings good things with it and as we learned with Colorado’s Karl Dorrell, not doing so can cost you your job.

There’s also an argument to make that being bad — and even historically bad — attracts a few eyeballs as well. Both ends of the spectrum are fun to discuss, although we all know which side fans prefer to be on.

Here at about the midway point of the season, CBS Sports writer Tom Fornelli dropped his bottom 25 college football rankings, bringing even more pain to the fanbases of the team listed.

Below are Fornelli’s picks for the 10 worst teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision:
