This is the thread for people who love lists
For anyone new, basically what I’ll do is each week post the teams with their 1st loss and the remaining undefeated teams. As the season progresses, I’ll add in 1 loss teams and winless teams and note the games between the teams or ones with more upset potential.
Note (updated): This list is only of full I-A (FBS) teams and teams in transition to I-A status. Old Dominion (Conference USA), Appalachian State (Sunbelt), and Georgia Southern (Sunbelt) are transitioning into I-A, but playing pretty much full I-A schedules so are included.
Conference changes: This year we see some realignment again. We see Maryland leave the ACC and Rutgers the American for the Big Ten (now at 14 members). We see Louisville join the ACC from the American as a replacement. We see the American adding East Carolina, Tulane, and Tulsa from Conference USA to get up to 11 (12 next year with Navy). Conference USA is replacing them with Western Kentucky from the Sunbelt which puts them at 13 this year again after a year at 14 (which they’ll soon be back to). The Sunbelt meanwhile gains the last two football orphans from the WAC in New Mexico State and Idaho (last year both played as independents). It also gains Georgia State which last year played a conference schedule, but was in transition to I-A and Georgia Southern and Appalachian State which are in transition themselves this year.
Remaining Undefeated Teams: ACC: 14, American Athletic: 11, Big 12: 10, Big Ten: 14, Conference USA: 13, MAC: 13, Mountain West: 12, PAC-12: 12, SEC: 14, Sun Belt: 11, independents: 4, total: 128
