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.

The '72 Dolphins are celebrating once again today. The Vikings lost over the weekend, bringing their undefeated dreams to an end.

The Dolphins remain the only NFL team to complete a season with no losses.

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.

Here is my preseason top 30:

1. Florida Gators
2. Duke Blue Devils
3. Arizona Wildcats
4. Illinois Fighting Illini
5. UConn Huskies
6. Houston Cougars
7. St. John's Red Storm
8. Arkansas Razorbacks
9. Michigan State Spartans
10. Michigan Woverines
11. Iowa State Cyclones
12. Virginia Cavaliers
13. Tennessee Volunteers
14. Gonzaga Bulldogs
15. Alabama Crimson Tide
16. Purdue Boilermakers
17. Texas Longhorns
18. Vanderbilt Commodores
19. Miami Hurricanes
20. Ohio State Buckeyes
21. Texas Tech Red Raiders
22. UCLA Bruins
23. Kansas Jayhawks
24. Nebraska Cornhuskers
25. Louisville Cardinals
26. Kentucky Wildcats
27. Villanova Wildcats
28. BYU Cougars
29. Missouri Tigers
30. Texas A&M Aggies

I will try to update these every week. Expect the rankings to be pretty volatile the first few weeks.
