Ohio State and Michigan are arguably having the most embarrassing seasons in college football. Both teams have significant talent but are failing to deliver results, with Ohio State's loss to Purdue being a particularly crushing blow.

The evidence for this assessment lies in their poor performances against lower-ranked teams and their inability to close out games. However, despite these investments, they are still struggling to compete at the highest level.

The caveat to this assessment is that there are other teams that are also struggling, and the situation is not as clear-cut as it may seem.
