Welcome to the Bottom 10, where the nation's worst teams face off in a battle of busted hopes and long losing streaks. UMass, the defending champion, shocked everyone by snapping a 16-game skid with wins over Rutgers and Sacred Heart, while Oklahoma State ended its 12-game losing streak against Oregon. The newly crowned top bottom team is Charlotte, sitting at 0-2 after a 41-9 loss to Ole Miss. They face Appalachian State next, with only a 14% chance of winning. Northern Illinois also sits at 0-2 after falling to FCS Illinois State, and Bowling Green lost to Iowa State. Rutgers continues its slide, now heading to face USC. Oregon, despite a loss, remains a top team.

The Bottom 10 continues to deliver the most unpredictable and painful results in college football.
