Athlon's most shameful matchups in College Football

Not as many SEC teams included as national media wanted to portray a week or two ago.
6. Aug. 31: Austin Peay (2-9, 1-7 OVC) at Tennessee
Butch Jones was the coach at Cincinnati in 2011 when the Bearcats defeated Austin Peay 72-10. Now, he gets to do the same as Tennessee’s coach. Austin Peay has had one winning season since 1984 and didn’t return to scholarship football until 2006.
7. Oct. 12: Western Carolina (1-10, 0-8 Southern) at Auburn
As bad as Auburn was last season, the Tigers could handle the FCS and the lower levels of FBS. In 2012, Auburn defeated New Mexico State and Alabama A&M by a combined score of 93-14. Meanwhile, Western Carolina has gone 12-66 the last seven seasons which includes shutout losses to Florida, Florida State and Vanderbilt.
I know.. I can't believe W Car scheduled Au either. :rimshot:
12. Sept. 7: Southeast Missouri State (3-8, 2-6 OVC) at Ole Miss
Ole Miss just signed the nation’s No. 1 recruit, while SEMO is 6-16 the last two seasons with one winning season in the last decade.
13. Nov. 16: Chattanooga (6-5, 5-3 Southern) at Alabama
Chattanooga is a mediocre FCS team, but Alabama has been proto-NFL for the last five seasons.
The rest of the top 15 shameful matchups

As long as our fans continue to go to those garbage games the AD will continue to schedule them

We don't get any credit for scheduling Sam Houston St?

Big 12 only had 2 of the 15 games from a conference that only played (1) Top 25 OOC game last season (OU vs Irish) and is notorious for weak OOC scheduling. I suspect the validity of your source.

By my count:
ACC: #1, #8, and #11 on that list
PAC 12: #2 and #3 on that list
Independent: #4
Big 12: #5 and #10 on that list
SEC: #6, #7, #12, and #13 on that list
B1G: #9, #14, and #15 on that list
ACC: #1, #8, and #11 on that list
PAC 12: #2 and #3 on that list
Independent: #4
Big 12: #5 and #10 on that list
SEC: #6, #7, #12, and #13 on that list
B1G: #9, #14, and #15 on that list

really? you can't be serious. Kent St. and Furman are known powerhouses and UAB beat Saban in 2000

Doesn't fit the criteria. The matchup has to be against a BAD FCS team. SHSU was #2 in the FCS last year.

Didn't Kent St have a good year last year? I think they were in position for a BCS bowl until NIU beat them. Though I may be confusing them with one of the 19 other MAC schools in Ohio.
