Here are my least favorite teams in the country starting with my "favorite" worst team and 10 being my least favorite team in the country. Of course, when teams are better they tend to move down my list but I think this is a pretty solid bottom 10 for me. Honorable mention would be South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia and Texas A&M. Surprisingly, UCLA and USC did not make my list. I used to really hate them both but I have warmed up to them over the last 10 years. For one thing, I like Pete C at USC and I generally like the Pac Ten so they have risen on my list along with the Pac Ten. Anyway here is my list.
10 Iowa - I hate putting a BT team in this group but in all honesty as much as I try to like iowa I just can't. As someone once said, I hate those god damn motherfuckers more than satan!
9 Notre Dame - This is another team I want to like b/c they are in the midwest (sort of) and I like the nickname "fighting Irish" but they had that traitor Holtz and I am tired of the "America's team" label they get. As I think about it I would probably root for them over most SEC schools but if say Georgia beat them I would probably be happy so I figure I should put them on the list.
8 BYU- I have always hated this school ever since the days of Robbie Bosco and that bullshit National title they "won" in 1984. They played no one and beat Michigan in the Holiday bowl that year and Michigan finished 5th in the Big Ten!! I hated Jim McMahon and Steve Young too- still do! I also hate the Mormons those conservative bible banging F's.
7 Nebraska- I am actually shocked they are this high on my list. All I can say here is " we will never forget 84-13." Its a conservative state, the fans are crumb bumbs and arrogant as hell. Every Nebraska fan I have ever known has been a rabid Republican and a big prick to boot. Basically, Nebraska is a bigger version of Iowa. I did like Turner Gill, I.M. Hipp, and Jarvis Redwine.
6 Florida State- There is nothing to like about this team or school. Its location in Fl makes it virtually a deep south team like Al, or MS. They are constantly overrated and Bobby Bowden gets too much credit.
5 Oklahoma- I liked billy sims but everything else about this program can kiss my ass. Another Rep state with fans like Iowa and Neb. only dumber if that is possible. A sooner is a ridiculous nickname and they are always overrated as well.
4 Auburn- Its hard to get worse than a private school in Alabama. The only thing worse than rednecks is rich rednecks. The reason they are this high is that they had Bo Jackson and they didn't have the Bear
3 Ole Miss.- doesn't the "ole" explain it all. I think their offical mascot is a confederate guy and a confederate flag. Screw them- they have to be the most ass- backward school in the nation and to make matters worse they had that no good spoiled shit Eli Manning. I hope this team remains buried so deep in the SEC that the rest of the country forgets they exist
2 Miami (fl) The ultimate goons of college football. They cheat and play dirty act like thugs and produce some of my least favorite players of all time (except Chuck foreman). One of the best moments of my life was when Penn State beat that fucking Miami team led by that sleaze ball Jimmy Johnson. I despise everything abut Miami. The city sucks, the beaches are pretentious and full of cake eating old money elites. I hate their helmets, I hate their colors and I hate their stupid duck like mascot. When I think Miami I think goon ball and michael Irivin - upchuck!
1 My least favorite team in all of college football is Alabama. I loathed them as a child when they had that nazi Bear Bryant. I think the real reason I hate Alabama though is that I think of them as the ultimate representation of the confederacy- even more than MS. They are always good, they reside in the belly of the old confederacy, they are arch Reps. and they seem like the exact opposite of everything I like and stand for. They are evil incarnate and every game they lose adds to my life by another day. You can imagine then how sweet it was to beat those johnny Rebs on their soil last year- it is a satisfying and great memory.

Great list. I'll comment tomorrow.
Dat thars a whole lotta hate. Yes um. If only you grew up south of the Mason Dixon line.
I hate, and in no particular order
w/ the exception of #1;
#1 Notre Dame (fucking arrogant catholics)
Oklahoma
Nebraska
UCLA
USC
Texas A&M
Purdue
Iowa
S. Carolina
Houston
I also have a love/hate relationship w/ Michigan.
Tough as well. My list is essentially the same just shifted around a bit. But it is interesting to try and actually rank them. Like you, I’m surprised at how “high” Notre Dame comes in and, like you, thinking this through this way forces me to see that ND has some redeeming qualities that make me think, yeah, I’d rather see them win the National Championship than those that are lower on the list. No Big Ten teams, no PAC-10 teams.
1 Miami – I undoubtedly hate this “school” the most. It epitomizes everything that is wrong about college football. The Thugs of the Johnson era were awful – only slightly worse than the reincarnation under Coker. And a good reason why I am glad Ohio State and Maurice Clarett exist. What’s worse for me, as an NFL fan, is having to deal with all the Miami partisans who revel in talking about “the U” as an NFL factory and when the Dolphins and Buccaneers are doing poorly having to hear NFL folks/Miami folks say they are the best football team in the state of Florida. Disgusting. And then there are the “graduates” on MNF, where they get to say their names and college, who say “The U,” as if that is something special. It just all grates on me and I wish there was some way this team could be bad. Under the current rules, it will be a perpetual powerhouse. And Donna Shalala is the Chancellor, how’s that for downward mobility!
2 Florida State – Another joke of a school, an amazingly annoying coach and the most offensive mascot, uh, people we would like to honor by naming our football team after them, in major college football. Is there anything worse than watching this team rally/score/play defense and seeing its fans honor native tradition with a war whoop and tomahawk chop? That’s respect!
3 Florida – I could not stand the old ball coach, although he was entertaining to watch, and the Gators is a pretty cool name.
4 and 5 Alabama and Ole Miss – I’m surprised that these teams are not lower. I agree entirely with your analysis. I was not as big of a college football fan when these teams were successful and I think that is why I don’t harbor as much ill will towards them as I could. If there ever was a serious resurgence I’d probably hate them even more.
6 Notre Dame – Pampered, NBC contract having, school that has an academic reputation that far exceeds the reality.
7 Nebraska – No standard having, Badger resembling, Neanderthals.
8 Oklahoma – Similar to Nebraska
9 Iowa State – Just kidding.
10 Virginia Tech – This is something of a trendy pick. I did not like the VT National Championship team or Vick and continue to really hope they lose. I had a niece who went there and played in the band so I feel a little self conscious about hating them but I do.
10.Ole Miss...lot of hate potential here, but they've sucked for so long they barely make the list.
9.BYU...mormons.
8.Auburn...private southern school.
7.Florida...stop winning/Spurrier/The Swamp.
6.Florida State...self-explanitory/a more extreme version of Florida.
5.Wisconsin...the only thing worse than drunk Wisconsin fans is a large group of drunk Wissonsin students.
4.Nebraska...remember when Colorado put up 63 on 'em. I still remember the shot of the 12 year old Nebraska fan crying in the stands...ah, good memories.
3.Oklahoma...2 words, 'Sooner Scooner'
2.Miami...Worst of the worst in Florida.
1.Notre Dame...the most hated of them all!
