USA TODAY Sports spent the 2019 college football season taking careful notes on all 130 teams in the Bowl Subdivision. With the year complete, let's hand out some grades.
It's time for report cards for the FBS, with marks ranging from the ultra-rare A+ to the utter failure that is an F grade. Three teams earned an F, including SEC cellar-dweller Arkansas. Four earned an A+, including LSU and Baylor.
Keep in mind that all report cards are graded on a relative curve. Take Minnesota and Alabama, for example. Both teams finished 11-2 with strong bowl wins, with the Golden Gophers beating Auburn and the Crimson Tide topping Michigan.
