Great video. Never realized how awful Oregon St was for so long. Growing up in the 90s and 2000s i always remembered them being solid and a pain to play
Both Oregon schools were both pretty terrible during that era (it took Phil Knight money and the coolness of his Nike brand to help the Ducks out of their own pit of despair.)
Me, a Rutgers fan... like the squidward window meme looking out at everyone having a good year and then seeing us be a stupid decision away from a ranked win this year at least...
I want to say that I appreciate the quality of your videos and I love them. Thank you for making these. I see the secret base influences and I love that you focus specifically on college football.
Have you ever heard of JaguarGator9? He either has more knowledge than anyone on the game of football, or he spends more time than anyone should learning about one topic… The dude isn’t very old yet he knows the most minute tales from the sports history, literally there are story’s that guys who played with those teams probably forgot about that’s how insane it can be at times. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer Empire’s style of video but if you want to see true dedication to any one sport you need to see this guys output…
The Oregon State streak began when they were a much better program than Oregon. It just took a boycott of players reacting to racist rules about haircuts and facial hair.
Iowa fan, I had a front row seat to a lot of ISU’s 1982-99 misery. Without a trace of hyperbole, they were easily in the running for worst major conference program of all time. To see what they’ve done under Campbell is truly remarkable, I don’t know if the general college fan has any idea or appreciation for it. Hell, sometimes I wonder if ISU fans themselves appreciate it! State of Iowa has extremely challenging demographics as far as building a winning FBS program. State population has essentially flatlined for something like 70 years with TWO FBS programs to support (one of the two, Iowa, definitely hogging most of the glory, historically). Yet, there they are, playing for the Big XII title, damn near a playoff team. Incredibly impressive.
@nickhill934: Hang on to Matt Campbell as dearly as You can! Two other guys with The Cyclone Program did very well later on. Johnny Majors won The 1976 Natty at Pitt with Heisman Trophy Winner Tony Dorsett at RB. And speaking of Dallas Cowboys, a former Assistant in Ames eventually became the first Head Coach to win both a National Championship and a Super Bowl. His name of course is Jimmy Johnson. Then there's Matt Campbell himself who nabbed a couple of Rings while helping guide D3 Superpower Mount Union to two of their overall TWELVE Natties in just over three Decades!😂🤷♂️🏈B.W.
It's weird growing up in ACC country that I always think of Duke as the bottom feeder over (under?) Wake Forest. Duke had a 55 year streak without a bowl win. The lows of the 90s/00s were so bad.
2:18 I know what that feels like. My alma mater, Augustana in Sioux Falls, SD, was BY FAR the smallest school in the Division II North Central Conference, after Morningside dropped down to NAIA; in the early 2000s, Augie was 1700 students, while the next-smallest, University of South Dakota, was around 7000 & SDSU (yes, the same SDSU which is the 2-time FCS Champion) was around 8000; the largest school in the conference was St. Cloud State with 15,000. Augie just wasn't big enough to consistently compete with the larger schools in our conference in football & men’s basketball. My freshman year, 1997, Augie actually BEAT SDSU in football, & my senior year (2000-01), Augie won BOTH men’s basketball games against SDSU, in Sioux Falls & in Brookings!
I'm not shocked we're the worst PAC team. My parents told me about the streak when I was younger, and how the football program was in serious danger of being canned for a while
Like you said, Oregon State has been through this before. Our fan base is beyond loyal, even in down seasons. We had multiple sold out home games this season for a very average team. I think the fans just know there’s a bright future ahead, all things considered
After this season of hell for me as a Purdue alum, seeing an IU player being front and center for the thumbnail of a video about worst college football teams ever feels cathartic
Indiana has a good chance to hand that most losses record off to Northwestern in the next couple of years if we keep Coach Cig. Right now IU has 714 losses and Northwestern has 709.
Growing up in Bloomington I never ever cared about college football because we were so embarrassingly bad my entire life. This team has absolutely vaulted my interest in CF as a whole and its been great
Hey Empire glad you were able to get the video out, take time this month and enjoy the holidays. Easily the best patreon I've ever subscribed to man you deserve it. Here's to your continued success brother and happy holidays!
Wake Forest was so beaten down this year, they got boat raced by Ole Miss, and decided that was enough, and cancelled the return trip to Oxford in 2025. I wouldn't say that is rock bottom, but it's pretty damning when it happens
I would say a honorable mention belongs to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights .492 all time Winning %. Yeah Vandy had some good seasons with James Franklin at the helm which is how he got the Penn St job.
Correction Kansas state is probably the worst of the big 8/12. Petty sure Kansas state is the only conference opponent ISU has a winning record against. Problem is Dan Snyder raised their program from futility decades ago.
Great video as always but i feel like this year is an anomaly personally for the smaller schools. My reasoning being I'm an Arkansas fan for now at least they try my patience thats for sure but unfortunately with this new era of NIL it's making schools like ours become feeder teams for the bigger schools in our conference. Essentially Arkansas Kentucky and Vanderbilt may do well one year and seem to be building momentum but with players being able to transfer every year it makes the best players from those teams seek better deals with Alabama Georgia Lsu Ole miss etc. Ultimately leaving us high and dry and having to rebuild year after year. Arkansas alone has seen close to 30 trasfers and while some may say its a culture issue and that may be true. We're not the only ones experiencing that I believe teams like Kentucky are as well. So it seems to just be the influence of NIL and the transfer portal in my opinion at least. Don't wanna make this seem like I'm hating on your opinion I think you make the best college football content personally.
Pop Warner coaching at ISU was a twist 🤯 Also, I had no idea that ISU is considered the worst team the original seven Big XII schools! I mean, even better than Kansas??
This video made me think of Kansas State. We all know what they did under Dan Snyder, and for the past thirty years or so, they've been a consistently competitive program. But that followed eighty plus years of utter futility, to the extent that they were the statistically worst program in Division I history up to 1989. If they could turn things around, anyone can.
With that being said, if you find yourself looking for an underdog in a world of big money & major brands, pick the cyclones! A passionate fanbase that loves the team and fans. Stop by and tailgate, tell the people you meet your visiting and I’ll bet ya you never drink your own beer.
How do fans of teams like umass experience games where they know their team is going to get slammed? Like did you even watch the game when they played the sec teams or is it just like how most fans of good teams treat it by just waiting until they go up by 30 and watching another game, but the opposite?

I can't believe IU is in the playoffs. 6 years ago while I was there that would've never been a dream
What's more amazing is....at 11-1, chances are even in the OLD system, they'd likely STILL be in.
Vanderbilt doesn't have an athletics department, technically. In 2003, they moved it under their Division of Student Life. It's weird.
He mentioned Iowa State and didn't say anything about the Hawkeyes! That's all a Cyclone fan wants for Christmas!
As an Iowa State grad and lifelong fan, I was waiting for ISU to be mentioned. So happy for 10 wins, but I can’t believe it’s the first time ever 😭😭
Go Cyclones! Hopefully we keep building this program up and make the playoffs
Thank you so much for highlighting my Beavs!! Not a lot of coverage understandably.
Always a good day when EMPIRE uploads another CFB video
These are so well produced, you deserve way more subs.

came to youtube searching for something to watch while i roll up.
*new EMPIRE drops*
*search concludes*
Once the season ends we have to know where the formula :tm: would rank the best and worst teams
Give Indiana another season or two, we’re only 5 losses ahead of Northwestern.
I'm not shocked we're the worst PAC team. My parents told me about the streak when I was younger, and how the football program was in serious danger of being canned for a while

It's always nice to see my Beavers 🦫 talked about. In any context really
Thanks for making this content. Very refreshing in the endless sea of slop that is sports commentary on youtube
No mention of Wake Forest being bad getting immortalized in the song "Deacon Blues" by Steely Dan? Missed opportunity.
After this season of hell for me as a Purdue alum, seeing an IU player being front and center for the thumbnail of a video about worst college football teams ever feels cathartic
Odom won’t help
@ I do not remember asking
Was just asking myself “Hmm wonder if Empire uploaded recently”
Sure as shit you did, and excellent as always sir. 🥃
UA-cam is undefeated for saving my life. Right when I had no clue what I was doing, Empire uploaded ,, yes!.

What was that passing motion 2:44
I had to rewind to make sure my eyes were working correctly
Aw yeah Papa Empire back with yet another banger
Thankfully Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier saved us from this list. To a lesser exten Paul Dietzel, Jim Carlen, and Joe Morrison (RIP).
Correction Kansas state is probably the worst of the big 8/12. Petty sure Kansas state is the only conference opponent ISU has a winning record against. Problem is Dan Snyder raised their program from futility decades ago.
Bill Snyder was the one that saved them, Dan Snyder did the absolute opposite with the NFL's Washington Redskins/Football Team/Commanders.

Might want to look at K-State before Snyder.
My dad bet about $75 at the beginning of the season that IU would make the playoffs.
We got our 10K payout last Tuesday.
What a way to start the day.
Empire your voice soothes me gang
PAC-12 forever FIGHT ON!✌️
Honerable mention to Kansas St. Worst record all time until the 90s.
What’s funny is nobody in the big 12 would consider Iowa State the worst. At all
I’m so confused why 1980’s Iowa state is wearing red and yellow helmets AT THE SAME TIME
14:37 don't tell me that was Chad Ochocinco 😂.
that team also had tj houshmandzadeh
the beavs had the bengals 2000s receiving core in that season
@99TS yeah Ocho talked about it on nightcap, and he told this story of when he dropped it at the 1. 😱🤣

How close was WSU to being included? I'm glad we ain't but I was expecting to hear you finally talk about them 😭
when i was initially compiling teams WSU was exactly at .500 all time
22:11 bros phone went off while recording😭
That's real shit.
21:24 PURDUE MENTIONED
Lets go Indiana win the playoff. That'd be great. 😅
U gotta do Northwestern
Dennis green won coach of the year for winning 3 games at northwestern
watching this video from my dorm room at iowa state university go cyclones
No we need the worst Group of 5 😟
New Mexico State or Kent state is probably the worst
Kansas?
That Iowa State playoff game was a vomit-inducing tragedy
Sco beavs
Every video smack I swear
Who wrote your script? "Respite" does NOT rhyme with "despite."
