Congratulations to Kansas for beating TCU this weekend and winning a couple of other games, they are getting left off this list. Here are my picks for the worst Power 5 programs of 2018, complete with analysis.

1. Rutgers (1-7) - In 1869 Rutgers defeated Princeton 6-4 in what is considered to be the first college football game. They have been one of the worst programs in America ever since. In their 7 straight defeats they are losing by an average score of 37 - 12

2. North Carolina (1-6) - Gone are the days of running trains on tutors and competing in the ACC. Larry Fedora has run this program into the ground. The defense has been horrible for the heels giving up 34 ppg. They are very fortunate that their game against UCF was cancelled.

3. Arkansas (2-7) - I honestly never expected Arkansas to be this bad, they are usually a decent team. Bert set the program back at least 5 years with shitty recruiting. They lost to Colorado State and got blown out at home by North Texas in consecutive weeks... that's just bad

4. Louisville (2-6) - Lamar Jackson aint walking through that door. The run defense has been especially porous for the cards, ranking 122nd in FBS and allowing 233 ypg. Former UL commit Matt Colburn shite on this defense for 243 yards and 3 TDs yesterday.

5. Nebraska (2-6) - By popular demand, the Huskers replace Oregon State for the #5 spot. OSU gutted out an incredible comeback victory at Colorado.. Nebraska lost to Colorado. This team has been getting arse raped in the Big 10 despite hiring nationally coveted HC Scott Frost. This once proud program is now a doormat

Honorable mention: Oregon State (2-6), UCLA (2-6), Illinois (3-5)

They're looking for a way to fire Petrino for cause.

Normally it wouldn't be that hard, but Pitino was such a scumbag that the bar is a lot higher.

I agree with the list mostly. Illinois is an honorable mention. 3-5 doesnt leap off the table as one of the worst teams, but when your 3 wins are Rutgers (the worst P5 team) and Kent St and a bad FCS school, and you get boat raced in all your losses, that's a pretty good resume to be included here. Gave up 40+ 4 times, including twice of 60+. Yikes

Didn’t LSU have interest in Fedora at one time for head coach?

I wouldn't put Arkansas in the bottom 5 over Illinois. Illinois' only win against a Power 5 team was against Rutgers and their four losses to Power 5 competition was by an average margin of 34.3 PPG. At least Arkansas has been competitive in some of their games only losing by 7 points to Texas A&M and four points to Ole Miss. I agree with the other four teams though.

Illinois finally had a few starters that are at least B10 quality but most of their depth is just shite.

Just 2 years ago around this time we were #3 in the country coming off a 62-20 win over then #2 Florida State. Damn what a fall

I believe you should switch OR State and Nebraska. The win over CU is a quality win. Nebraska doesn’t have anything close.

One of the worst SEC teams I can remember.

0-8 in league. 2-10 overall with losses to Colorado State and North Texas. Blown out by Vandy at home, who might not win another game in the league.

It's real bad.
