CBR Exclusive: Predicting the first loss for every undefeated team

clemson-fsu

There are currently 17 undefeated teams in the FBS division of college football as we head into week seven. This is going to make for some exciting football down the stretch as we watch some of these teams face off against each other, some of these teams suffer heart-breaking defeats and maybe, just maybe, some of these teams reach the end of the regular season with their perfect record in tact. For fun, let's assume that every one of these teams will drop at least one game before the end of the season. Here are the undefeated teams and their most likely first loss….

 

Alabama Crimson Tide 5-0

Toughest Remaining Games: 10/19 vs Arkansas (3-3), 11/9 vs LSU (5-1), 11/30 at Auburn (4-1)

Most Likely First Loss: 11/9 vs LSU

LSU has actually won two of the last three regular season meetings between these two teams and four of the last five that have taken place in Tuscaloosa. LSU is sporting a nice and shiny new offense this season and this game might not resemble some of the low scoring affairs these two rivals have had over the last few years.

 

Baylor Bears 4-0

Toughest Remaining Games: 11/7 vs Oklahoma (5-0), 11/16 vs Texas Tech (5-0), 11/23 at Oklahoma State (4-1)

Most Likely First Loss: 11/7 vs Oklahoma

Baylor has been one of the most impressive teams so far this year but they've always had trouble with OU. The gap has definitely closed over the last few years but the Bears have won just once in the last ten tries against the Sooners and that was with a Heisman winner at QB.
