and the rest:

- Missouri Tigers (6-3)
- Oklahoma State Cowboys (6-3)
- SMU Mustangs (7-2)
- Louisville Cardinals (6-3)
- Liberty Flames (8-1)
- North Texas Mean Green (7-2)
I really wanted to put Utah at #1. I just couldn't. Maybe next week if they beat Arizona.
The Buckeyes are in free fall. They could lose all three of their remaining games. It's time for them to start thinking about next year.
And Then There Were Three
November 8, 2026
The Hurricanes fell to the Irish and the Lumberjacks dropped one to the Lamar Cardinals. That leaves three undefeated D-I teams in the CFB.
- #46 Tarleton State Texans (10-0) 49.9%
- #4 UCLA Bruins (9-0) 39.7%
- #1 Utah Utes (9-0) 39.3%
Tarleton State is basically 50/50 to finish the regular season undefeated. And the Bruins and Utes are essentially 2 in 5.
UCLA was picked by the Big Ten beat writers to finish 13th in the Big Ten this year. They are three games away from an undefeated season.
Can the Bruins Go 12-0?
November 1, 2026
The UCLA Bruins are now 8-0, and the computer has them favored in all the rest of their games. Could the Bruins win the Big Ten and go 12-0?
Very possible.
Undefeated chances as of this morning:
- #55 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (9-0) 51%
- #4 UCLA Bruins (8-0) 50.8%
- #49 Tarleton State Texans (9-0) 37.6%
- #2 Utah Utes (8-0) 16.6%
- #6 Miami Hurricanes (8-0) 11.7%
The Hurricanes chances improve dramatically if they win this week @ Notre Dame.
UPDATE: There was a bug in my ratings. The corrected undefeated chances are:
- #56 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (9-0) 63.5%
- #1 Utah Utes (8-0) 34%
- #82 Tarleton State Texans (9-0) 28.5%
- #7 UCLA Bruins (8-0) 25.3%
- #2 Miami Hurricanes (8-0) 21.2%
The Bruins aren't nearly as likely to go 12-0 with the correction.
