We’re a little more than halfway through the 2022 college football regular season, and somewhat surprisingly, there are just nine remaining undefeated teams at this point. (It took an extra week last season before that number dropped to single digits.)
While these nine teams will try to hold onto their perfect records as tight as they can in Week 8, two teams on this list, Clemson and Syracuse, play each other. So no matter what, we’ll at least lose one team from this list by next week.
The SEC leads the way with three undefeated teams, while the Big Ten and ACC each have two and the Pac-12 and Big 12 have one apiece. Disappointingly, there are no undefeated Group of Five teams left anymore.
Now, no one can predict the future, and especially not in college football. But that’s not stopping us from attempting to educatedly guess which currently undefeated FBS teams will fall for the first time in Week 8.
Here are our predictions for this week’s undefeated teams, based on their upcoming opponents, how they’ve played so far, ESPN’s FPI projections and betting info from Tipico Sportsbook. (All games are on Saturday unless otherwise noted.)
