Epic Failures: Top 10 Busts of the BCS Era

7. 1999 Ohio State              Preseason Rank: 9;   Final Record: 6-6

After an 11-1 season in 1998, Ohio State had a stellar 3-5 record in the Big Ten in 1999.  They lost their last three, and John Cooper was gone the following season.  Oh, and they lost to Michigan again.

Superb Failure

6. 1999 Arizona              Preseason Rank: 4;   Final  Record: 6-6

Following a great 12-1 campaign in 1998, Arizona laid eggs all over the 1999 season.  Their best win was against a team also on this list (UCLA).  Their football team has not been seen since.

Mammoth Failure

5. 1998 Arizona State        Preseason Rank: 8;   Final Record: 5-6

With a Top 10 preseason ranking after a successful 9-3 season in 1997, the Sun Devils became known as a baseball school again in 1998.  Arizona put up half a hundred on them. Best win was against a 5-6 Cal team.

Immense Failure
