2025-2026 College Football Season

[Moranis]

IU was 6-0 against AP top 10 teams this year.  Before this year, all time they were 6-116-1.  That is why there will be stories about this season.  Just so improbable, even with last year making the playoffs.

So after 2 years of playoffs here are some stats (I believe I calculated correctly) * is obviously a champion. 

4-1 - Ohio State*
3-1 - Indiana*, Miami, Notre Dame
2-1 - Texas, Penn State, Mississippi
2-2 - Oregon
1-1 - Alabama
0-1 - Arizona State, Boise State, SMU, Tennessee, Clemson, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Tulane, James Madison
0-2 - Georgia

Just 4 teams made it both years: OSU, IU, Oregon, and Georgia


Conference Records

Big Ten - 11-5 (with both champions - 9-3 when not playing each other)
SEC - 5-8 (3-6 when not playing each other)
ACC - 3-3
Big 12 - 0-2
Small Conferences - 0-3
Independents - 3-1

Teams on bye 1-7, only Indiana this year won after having the bye.

Something I found interesting, is the Big Ten's 5 losses are only to teams that played for the national championship.  Oregon lost each year to the fellow Big Ten school that won the title, and the other losses were to Indiana and PSU to ND (which lost to OSU) and this year OSU losing to Miami (which lost to IU).  So if you beat a Big Ten school, apparently you will play for the national title (at least through 2 years).

It's crazy that the Indiana Hoosiers are the last undefeated men's basketball and football teams in D1. Come to think of it, has any other D1 school ever gone undefeated in both sports?

UCLA was a 9-0 national champion in 1954, to go with their numerous undefeated basketball seasons.  Only two other colleges have undefeated basketball seasons: UNC, and Bill Russell?s San Francisco Dons.  San Fransisco actually went undefeated in 1951 (also 9-0), although finished ranked #14.  They were denied a bowl game because the Southern bowl games wouldn?t let their Black players participate.  San Fransisco actually shut down its football program after that season.  While it revived it a couple of times since, it came back only as a Division II team.

UNC went undefeated back in the 1890s if you want to go back that far.

Yeah Men's basketball since the tourney started in 1939 have had only 7 undefeated seasons by 4 schools.  So that is much more the limiting factor.

Stating at 12 for playoff next year.

Brendan Sorsby one of the Heisman favorites and the top QB in the transfer portal has checked himself into rehab for a gambling addiction.  Apparently he had thousands of online bets though no report of any in games he played for Cincinnati or Indiana his 2 previous teams. Gambling is banned by the NCAA, Sorsby will miss several games at least if he plays at all.  Texas Tech, the Big 12 favorite is now left scrambling as the portal is closed.
