Rutgers coach Kyle Flood is the biggest bargain in college football. That's the conclusion reached by CBSSports.com, which recently named Flood the most underpaid power conference coach.

Writer Tom Fornelli removed the subjectivity and based his list on simple math. Fornelli determined his list by comparing the amount of games each coach has won to his salary.

Flood made $987,000 in 2014, which ranked 73rd nationally and last among power conference coaches, according to USA Today's database.

Flood went 8-5 last season and has a 23-16 record in three years as Rutgers' head coach.

CBS ranked Flood as the 50th-best coach in college football earlier this month. But Rutgers has paid Flood just $1113,347.83 per win during his career, which earned him the top spot on this value-based list. Here's Fornelli's entry on Flood:

Fornelli ranked the top five most underpaid coaches. Here's the rest of the list:

*2. David Shaw, Stanford: $2,012,666 salary in 2014

*3. Jimbo Fisher, Florida State: $3,591,667 salary in 2014

*4. David Cutcliffe, Duke: $1,840,341 salary in 2014

*5. Art Briles, Baylor: $3,135,146 salary in 2014

Kyle Flood is the lowest-paid power conference coach

Now represented by super-agent Jimmy Sexton, Flood won't remain the lowest-paid power conference coach if he continues to win. Flood received a two-year contract extension last September that included raises to his base annual salary.

Flood is scheduled to earn $1.25 million in 2015 (up from $1.05 million) in the first year of the new contract. That salary still would have ranked last among power conference coaches in 2014. Flood's base salary is scheduled to reach $1.55 million in 2018, the final year of his new contract.
