Headed into Week 9 of the college football season, we’re down to single digits for the remaining number of undefeated FBS teams. After Week 8’s games, Oklahoma State and Coastal Carolina dropped off this list, leaving just nine undefeated teams.
The Big Ten and the American Athletic Conference each have two teams with perfect records at this point, while the SEC, ACC, Big 12, Mountain West Conference and Conference USA each have one team hanging on. But with the two Big Ten teams facing off this week, the conference is guaranteed to lose another team after this weekend.
Now, we can’t predict the future, as fun as that would be. But that’s not stopping us from attempting to educatedly guess which currently undefeated FBS teams will fall for the first time this weekend.
Here are our predictions for this week’s undefeated teams, based on their upcoming opponents, how they’ve played so far, ESPN’s Football Power Index projections and betting info from Tipico Sportsbook. (All games are on Saturday unless otherwise noted.)
