Longest Drought: Iowa State Cyclones (Last title: 1912)
No FBS school has been suffering without a conference championship longer than Iowa State. They are the only school whose title drought extends for more than a century at this point. The Cyclones won the second of their back-to-back Missouri Valley Conference (the precursor to the Big 6, Big 7 and Big 8) crowns in 1912.
The 1912 title marked the last year of head coach Clyde Williams' five seasons in Ames. Iowa State lost their season opener against Minnesota. The Cyclones rebounded to rattle off five straight wins before suffering another loss against rival Iowa. Concluding the season with a 23-3 win over Drake, then an MVIAA member, Iowa State ensured that they would end the year atop the league standings.
But they did not finish there alone. In both 1911 and 1912, Iowa State had to share the title with Nebraska. As such, Iowa State has never won an outright conference championship in the 125 years that its football program has existed and we all laugh about this when feeling sad.
