When I go down, I go way back, almost to the point of tipping over backwards.

Yes, you are doing bad squats. You need to sit your hips back and between your legs, keeping your knees behind the line of your toes. Check out this video:

also make sure your picking your head up and driving upward. Down slow, up quick is what you should be thinking when squating.
