Home Field Advantage? Not for these guys...

Without a doubt one of the great things about college football is the atmosphere. There's nothing better than thousands of fans all draped in their school colors making the ground shake with their collective roar. Great fan support is essential if a team wants to win, that's why there's even a term like "home field advantage". Ask anyone who's ever played againts LSU at Tiger Stadium, or Michigan at The Big House and they'll tell you what an impact it is to play in such a hostile environment. To win in a situation like this is truly a feat by any visitor, not all schools are as lucky however; some teams walk step out to a half empty stadium, with lackluster support from their fans. These are the schools with the WORST home field advantage.
