They’re the wins that don’t really do much for college football as a whole, but they’re also the ones you must have to help the overall record.

They’re on the schedule, so you might as well win them.

What does it generally mean to come up with a Bad Win? You probably have an easier schedule and path if you have a few sure-things on the slate. Having a low Bad Win count, though, isn’t necessarily a horrible thing – maybe a team didn’t have a whole lot of cupcakes to eat.

Or, a team couldn’t hit the layups.

What’s a Bad Win? It’s a victory over 1) an FCS team or 2) an FBS team that finished its season with three wins or fewer.
