The Bottom 25 Championship Game
No. 3 FIU 5, No. 1 UMass 2: Ladies and gentlemen, they've done it. For the second time in three seasons, the UMass Minutemen are your Bottom 25 Champions, and they did it in a Bottom 25 title game for the ages. UMass set the tone early, fumbling the opening kickoff inside their 20-yard line. The Panthers pounced on it and were held to a field goal to take a quick 3-0 lead.

The ensuing kickoff pinned UMass deep in its own territory again, but this time a holding call in the end zone resulted in a safety to give the Panthers a 5-0 lead. That's where the score would remain until the final moments when FIU ran out the final seconds of the game by running out the back of the end zone to make it 5-2 and clinch UMass' Bottom 25 title.
