Alabama and Georgia would eventually have to play each other. Terrible odds for those last two.

How did a team like North Texas not make the list? Their schedule is Incarnate Word, Arkansas, Liberty, and CUSA.

If it weren't for Auburn Washington would have won this going away.

You expect them to beat Arkansas?

I think their odds are better than Notre Dame's going 12-0 with Michigan, USC, Stanford and Florida State. Even Northwestern and Navy are not gimmes.


OK, good point.

That's loco. No way North Texas has a better chance than Notre Dame of going undefeated. I don't care how easy their schedule is. It's hard to go undefeated no matter what your schedule is and North Texas isn't exactly UCF of last year or Boise State of past seasons.

So while Notre Dame plays another meat grinder of a schedule this year and isn't the most elite team in the country, I'd place their odds of going 12-0 at maybe like 3%. For the North Texas Mean Green? I'm thinking somewhere between 0% to 1%.

I wasn't, so much, saying them only, but teams in conferences like CUSA and Sun Belt that don't have top P5 teams. North Texas was really the first one I ran into who had a much better 2017 season than 2016 season that didn't play a top level P5 team.

Do I think North Texas will? No. Would I be surprised if they did? No. Iowa went 12-0 a few years ago in a year they were predicted 3rd or 4th in the B1G West, despite having an easy schedule.
