Only 7 FBS teams have a legit shot to go undefeated

Sep 2, 2016, 21:43 IST

Now that college football has a four-team playoff, it is less important to win every game during the season. However, it sure helps if a team does go undefeated, and, according to ESPN's Football Power Index, seven teams have a legit shot to run the table during the regular season.

FPI simulates the regular season 10,000 times and Oklahoma, the No. 3 team in the AP Top 25, has the best shot to win all their scheduled games. The model gives the Sooners a 17.7% chance to run the table. The Sooners are also being given the best chance out of the Power Conference schools to win their conference at 65.4%. Florida State is second at 42.1%.

Florida State is the only other school with at least a 10.0% chance to go undefeated. Overall, seven schools are being given a legit shot (at least 5.0%) to have zero losses when conference championship games begin.
