Going into this season, 136 teams had the opportunity to complete the perfect season. In Week 8, there are FIVE\u00a0undefeated teams remaining. Indiana was the last team remaining last season, running the table at 16-0 to win the CFP title.<\/a><\/p>\n

Will 2026 see a team join the Hoosiers and 2023 Michigan and make it four out of the last five national champions to finish with perfect seasons?<\/a>\u00a0We’re tracking every undefeated team here.<\/p>\n

*All results updated through Week 7. Rankings are from the AP Top 25 Poll<\/p>\n

No. 1 Miami (Fla.) (6-0)<\/p>\n

Miami survived its closest call yet, defeating unranked rival Florida State in double overtime. The win kept the Hurricanes undefeated and launched them to the No. 1 spot for the first time since 2002.<\/p>\n

No. 2 BYU (6-0)<\/p>\n

BYU is undefeated after one season after finishing as Big 12 runner-up. The Cougars won a battle of undefeated teams, taking down then-No. 2 Notre Dame in a last-minute thriller. It was the final nonconference game BYU will play this season, as the Cougars face Big 12 opponents the rest of the way.<\/p>\n

No. 8 Texas Tech (6-0)<\/p>\n

Texas Tech already has a ranked win, defeating then-No. 22 Houston in September. That two-point victory was the closest game the Red Raiders have played this season, with every other win coming by multiple scores.<\/p>\n

No. 10 Utah (6-0)<\/p>\n

Utah beat Colorado by only three in its last outing, a stark contrast for a team that had previously won by no fewer than 14 points this season. A lookahead at the remaining games show intriguing matchups with Houston and BYU.<\/p>\n

No. 9 UCLA (6-0)<\/p>\n

UCLA’s statement win of the season has been going into Eugene to beat Oregon for the first time since 2004. The Bruins have only one ranked opponent left on the schedule, a season finale against crosstown rival Southern California.<\/p>\n
