The Terrible Ten of College Football: Week 11

The Syracuse Orange were like the guest that would not leave. They lingered long at the top of the Terrible Ten, never quite good enough to beat any Division One team, but then suddenly the lame Louisville Cardinals crashed against them for the second straight year.

All the Kentucky Red Birds fans say ugh. Being dominated by Greg Robinson is as bad as it gets...unless you're a football fan in the state of Washington.

1) The State of Washington (1-16)

The Washington State Cougars and the Washington Huskies were beaten 114 to 0 last week. Throw in the Seattle Seahawks' 26-7 sinking at the talons of the Philadelphia Eagles, and the state is down 140 to 7.

The only way Washington's football news could get worse is if the city of Lakewood bought the Detroit Lions. Lakewood Lions anyone?

2) Michigan Wolverines (2-7)

Who would have thought the switch to the spread offense could cause such havoc? Who would have though Michigan would be this mucked up? Who would have thought that West Virginia Mountaineer Mountain Momma Mojo who was so powerful?

3) San Diego State Aztecs (1-8)

When the Wyoming Cowboys whip you, it's about time to call it a season. The Cowboys, outscored 118-14 the previous three games, hogtied the Aztecs 35-10. Coach Chuck Long wishes he could play the Idaho Vandals each week.

4) Southern Methodists Mustangs (1-8)

June Jones enjoyed his bye week after being blown out of the water by Navy by listening to old Hawaiian Hula songs and crying.

5) Indiana Hoosiers (3-6)

The Hoosiers are not only the worst team in the Big Ten, they likely would be the worst team in the MAC, having also been dominated twice by MAC opponents this year.

6) Syracuse Orange (2-6)

Come on—if the Texas Longhorns only dropped five spots, the sad Syracuse squad should do no worse...or better.

7) Tennessee Volunteers (3-6)

So long, Phil. It's a long walk out of Knoxville, but you know the way after pushing Johnny Majors down that path all those years ago.

8) Iowa State Cyclones (2-7)

The Cyclones look ready to wind the year up with 10 straight losses.

9) Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-4)

Remember when Nebraska-Oklahoma was one of the biggest games in the country? Remember when Nebraska was not just another average program? A below average team to be scheduled for a win? Michigan, look into your future.

10) Notre Dame Fighting Irish (5-3)

Has a below average team and coach ever gotten so much hype and so much network airtime? Last year's Irish team maybe...? Or next year's?
