College Football Countdown Trivia: Power Five Teams With Zero 10-Win Seasons?

HERO Sports is counting down the 100 days until the kickoff of the 2018 college football season on Saturday, Aug. 25, with daily trivia. Each day, from May 17 through Aug. 24, we'll publish one college football trivia question.

Despite the increase of regular-season games and bowl games throughout the last century of college football, some FBS teams, specifically Power Five teams, still can't win 10 games in a season. Of the 65 Power Five teams, three have never recorded a 10-win season.

Who are the three current Power Five teams that have never won 10 games in a season? 

Here's some help in eliminating potential candidates:

Illinois has won 10 games four times. The Lovie Smith photo means nothing.

North Carolina State won nine games last season, the 11th time the Wolfpack have won at least nine games in program history. And last year was the 10th time they failed to hit 10 wins. Their lone double-digit-win season came in 2002 when Philip Rivers and T.A. McLendon led them to an 11-3 mark and win in the Gator Bowl.

Four years later, Wake Forest hit 10 wins for the first time, winning 11 in 2006. Virginia also has just one season with 10 wins (1989), as do Kentucky (1977) and Purdue (1979). Baylor entered the 2011 season with only one 10-win season before they reeling off four straight.

Who are the three current Power Five teams that have never won 10 games in a season?

Answer

Indiana, Iowa State and Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt has four seasons with nine wins, while Indiana and Iowa State have each hit nine wins twice.

The Commodores won nine games in both 1904 and 1915 and didn't do so again until 2012 when they had back-to-back nine-win seasons. Indiana hasn't won nine games since 1967 (and hasn't even hit eight since 1993) and Iowa State won nine games in 2000 after a 93-year drought. The Cyclones nearly did it again last year but fell one win short.
