How many undefeated teams will there be?

[Red_Alert]

Think bama loses 1. May just be hope, tho.

fsu is still fsu. They do clemsoning better than clemson.

Oregon has some tough games coming up. Ill say their D gets a little worn and drops one.

OSUs only shot at losing is maybe in the ccg. Shedule not very challenging.

Aint buyin mizz even a little yet.

Miami does clemsoning better than fsu lately, but not sure they are good enough yet to qualify for clemsoning

Baylor is really still an unknown. Will check back shortly...

The rest, exvept maybe fresno drop 2 or more.

Only one on the list with proven closing power lately is bama, ugh.

I agree that Ohio State's schedule is not 'challenging', but they are not dominant in it like your elite teams would be. They weren't dominant in in last season either.

When Northern Illinois can beat Iowa @ Iowa similar to Ohio St beating Iowa in Columbus, OH it tells me a lot about the Quality of Ohio St and the Big 10 in general.

Not to mention Northern Illinois also pasted Purdue as bad as any Big 10 team has.

Looking over the remainder of the College Football season, how many teams do you think could finish undefeated?

I think Alabama, Florida State, Oregon, Ohio State, and Baylor will all end up undefeated.

football study hall just did their undefeated odds:

Bama 0.6 FSU 0.52 Baylor 0.52 OSU 0.29 Oregon 0.14 Mizzouri 0.6 Miami 0.02 Tech 0.01
that is in percent

My guess is there is a far better chance this will be a curb stomping than a close game. Miami really hasn't played a good team and barely beat UNC. They haven't seen an O like FSU has, that's for sure.

Being in state and all Miami and FSU will still be a good game. I think FSU wins.

FSU, Oregon, Baylor, OSU, NIU, Fresno State is my call

So you're saying there IS a chance...

We go through this every season since the BCS was formed. The media loves to keep the controversy machine oiled.

These conference teams and late OOC rivalries know each other like the back of their hands. They've been playing each other for years. All is takes is a bad day for each one of them and you've got an upset. It's one of those days where the heavily favored team can't get out of it's own way.

Add to the that the parity of todays CFB and the odds of the current undefeated teams remaining that way go down.

2 teams at best stay undefeated IMO. More likely one.

If Bama, FSU and Oregon play to their full potential every game then they should all finish undefeated...but recent history shows that they all trip up somewhere down the road.

As a fan of a team that was in the NC race for years and years, I've seen it too many times. Nebraska would get tripped up at some point and leave me shaking my head.

As Tom Osborne once said ""To win a national championship, you've got to have a little luck".

The ball has to bounce your way in a couple of games. You've got to bring it week in and week out for 12/13 games. There are a ton of distractions for these players to boot.
