CBS Sports has UMass among it's "Dreadful Dozen", the college football teams that struggled the most in 2012.

The article mentions Texas State and Texas San Antonio. Texas State played a good FCS team in Stephen F. Austin, but also padded their schedule with New Mexico State (1-11) and Idaho (1-11). They also beat fellow newbie Texas San-Antonio. The Bobcats did have a nice win at Houston.

Texas San-Antonio Road Runners went 8-4, but played two transitional FBS teams (South Alabama and Texas State), two FCS teams (Georgia State and McNeese State) as well as the two 1-11 teams listed above and somebody named Northwest Oklahoma State (DII, I think). That's a far cry from the seven bowl teams the Minutemen played.
