As the 2024 college football season continues into November, we’re tracking all the teams that are still in contention for a perfect season.
Only four FBS teams remain undefeated, as Georgia Tech upset No. 4 Miami (Fla.) on Nov. 9. The Big Ten leads the way with two unbeaten teams, followed by the Big 12 and the American with one. The SEC lost its final undefeated team after Georgia took down Texas in Week 8.
The ranking lists teams in order of the College Football Playoff rankings.
Record: 10-0 (7-0 Big Ten)
Last game: Defeated Maryland, 39-18
Last undefeated season: 1916 (7-0-1, won Rose Bowl)
The Ducks continued their dominant season with a win over Maryland in Week 11. Dillon Gabriel continued his impressive season with three touchdown passes against the Terps. Dan Lanning’s squad now has a road matchup with Wisconsin and a home game against Washington between them and a perfect regular season.

Record: 10-0 (7-0 Big Ten)
Last game: Defeated Michigan, 20-15
Last undefeated season: 1945 (9-0-1)
Indiana picked up a huge win against Michigan in Week 11, and Curt Cignetti’s squad is rolling heading into a bye week. The Hoosiers get a week to prepare for a matchup with Ohio State in Week 13 in Columbus. Indiana has never beaten Ohio State in football, and if it walks away with a win, the Hoosiers will be in a prime spot to compete for the Big Ten championship.
Record: 9-0 (6-0 Big 12)
Last game: Defeated Utah, 22-21
Last undefeated season: 1984 (13-0, won national championship)
After a rough first season in the Big 12, the Cougars have already surpassed their conference win total from 2023. They have two ranked wins under their belt in Kansas State and SMU, and Kalani Sitake’s squad squeezed out a thriller against Oklahoma State in Week 8. The Cougars defended their perfect record at UCF for a Week 9 win, and won a tough road test against their rival, Utah, in Week 11. The Cougs will battle Kansas this in Week 12.

Record: 9-0 (7-0 American)
Last game: Defeated North Texas, 14-3

Army holds the longest win streak in FBS football at 13. The Black Knights receive a bye week to prepare for their biggest matchup of the season against Notre Dame. The Irish have been proven beatable, and if the Black Knights can pull it off, we could be discussing Army in the 12-team playoff come late November.
