15 for '15: College football's worst non-conference matchups
We have been celebrating college football with our "15 for '15" series, but today we have come to shame it with a look at the 15 most embarrassing games of the season.
Forget picking from among flotsam and jetsam such as Ohio State-Hawaii, FSU-Texas State, Oklahoma-Akron, Oregon-Georgia State and Florida-New Mexico State; those games actually are intriguing compared to the ones we're spotlighting. What we don't like is FBS teams scheduling games against bad FCS teams.
We know that some of the FBS teams we're picking on do have some good non-conference games. And we're aware that some of these spotlighted games were scheduled at the last minute. But that in no way absolves anyone of blame.
