Given that Yale is non-scholarship, the win shouldn't even count (and doesn't for bowl eligibility). Basically UConn beat a D2ish level team by 6 points. They'd be the obvious answer for this poll but for that.

The IVY League is not non-schollie in reality.

And no where close to D2.

I assume players get the same generous tuition discounts or grants-in-aid that any middle- or working-class student would get upon admission.

But even setting that aside: Imagine being asked to choose between playing football at Ferris State (the current Division II champion) or Brown or Penn (two of the weakest Ivy League football programs). It seems to me most people would chose Brown or Penn unless they absolutely could not get in.

Correct - even upper middle class get generous financial aid that is basically a full ride if they happen to be talented at say, football (former boss's son got to Dartmouth that way, even though she made a very good living)

No doubt, Penn or Brown.

I went w/ 2019 Akron.

Only because we played Nebraska tough in the first half of our 0-12 season before E-Loss decided to put cancer boy in, basically giving up that game for NO reason, I've gotta go with the 2020 ULM team , as stated, had a grand total of 0 minutes of leading a football game all season.

I voted for the Georgia St team because unlike the past few years, The Belch was pretty awful in 2013. To not win a game with that schedule is unusually awful.

I will add that if I could pick the worst team ever I’d pick UCONN in 18 followed by UCONN the other 1 year season. They barely beat a non FBS school to eke out a win in those seasons. UCONN may possibly have the worst football program in the country now with no OCS, no FB conference and no local recruits.

They didnt give up on that game, it was the plan all along.
"He gives us the best chance to win"

The late summer change of OC's, the story of the asst having to step down. All part of the plan to keep one kid happy.
The kid walked in the locker room after the 2nd practice and told the ol. My hs line outblock all you mf's
It was over at that point.

2020 should not count. That was a bizarre year with games cancelled and players out.
