The all-time record for most consecutive losing seasons is held by Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, Texas. PVAMU, a Division I-AA (FCS) school, compiled 31 consecutive losing seasons from 1976-2006. From 1989-1998, the Panthers lost an NCAA record (all divisions) 80-straight games, nearly doubling second-place Columbia's 44 consecutive losses. The Panthers finally achieved a winning 7-3 record in 2007 before going 9-1 in 2008, and again going 9-1 as well as winning the SWAC championship in 2009. Oregon State University ran up 28 consecutive losing seasons from 1971-1998 to earn the NCAA Division I-A (FBS) record for consecutive losing seasons. During that time the Beavers compiled a 65-238-6 record.
The UPS guy asked me this and seems to think my beloved Cardinals is the team with only 2 consecutive losing seasons in the last 30 or 40 years but hopefully someone can confirm and explain. When you google it only seems to correlate losing with most. ---- The Cardinals had consecutive losing seasons in 1994 (53-61) and 1995 (62-81). Prior to that their last consecutive losing seasons came in 1958 and 1959. Since the 1960 season, the Cardinals are the only MLB team to have one set of consecutive losing seasons. The Los Angeles Dodgers have had two sets of consecutive losing seasons since 1960 (1967-1968 and 1986-1987).
