[McNeese72]

I think you forgot a Southland team on that second list.

[taper]

Yep, missed Nicholls State, updated the list.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

Wow, Norfolk State's entire non-conference schedule was FBS. They must have really needed the money.

Shameful, why keep an athletic department when things are so bad?

[RootinFerDukes]

Wow, Norfolk State's entire non-conference schedule was FBS. They must have really needed the money.
They're a school that is on the brink of closing. Major financial and accreditation issues at Norfolk State. They may not exist much longer, which is why many of our fans are scratching their head as to why we just scheduled a series with them.

UC Davis doesn't have a sub-DI win. They're 0-5.

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

ETSU is not on this list. They're currently 0-5.

[WileECoyote06]

The ODU game was set in 2012 when they were still FCS.

[clenz]

ETSU is not on this list. They're currently 0-5.
Not currently full FCS - nor a D1 counter - I believe

[BEAR]

Mcneese plays SLU this week so one of them will fall off.

[Ivytalk]

The ranks of perfect Ivies will drop by at least one this weekend when Yale plays Dartmouth.

[taper]

ETSU and Kennesaw State aren't counted as full D1 yet. I'm going to leave them out. Good chance neither gets a D1 win.

Kennesaw St may pick 2 or 3 up in conference play but I'm not sure. ETSU will go winless in all likelihood

It's okay that you forgot Nicholls State in your original post, pretty much everyone else has too.

[McNeese72]

Tough going down there right now, but I think your coach will eventually turn things around.

Get rid of all the teams that have a loss. FBS loss is still a loss and not perfection.

[RootinFerDukes]

I agree. This thread is pointless without highlighting only truly undefeated teams.

[taper]

I'm covering FCS perfection. I do note FBS losses so if you prefer to count that way go right ahead. It's not like I'm sending out trophies.

[World]

So....only 8 undefeated teams left in FCS as of Oct 10, 2015


Coastal
Dartmouth
Dayton
Harvard
Jacksonville
James Madison
McNeese
Princeton

That's a bit silly, don't you think? Especially since McNeese is only undefeated because their game with LSU was canceled.

[msupokes1]

That's a bit silly, don't you think? Especially since McNeese is only undefeated because their game with LSU was canceled.

Exactly, I mean McNeese was down big when the game was canceled and had no chance to come back and win. Oh wait it was 0-0. They play the game for a reason. It is unreasonable to just assume a loss. McNeese has been very competitive with the FBS schools in the past. McNeese has a pretty good defense and Coach V game plans very well for these FBS games.

princeton & harvard haven't played anyone with a winning record yet.

[RootinFerDukes]

It is what it is. It doesn't change the fact that they're undefeated. LSU cancelled the game.

Don't be hatin'.

Oh, come on, it was less than 5 minutes into the first quarter.

So, if McNeese had lost that game, you agree that they shouldn't be tracked here?

You had me until that line. If it were a lower level Sunbelch team then yeah..but LSU...yeah, we can pretty much call it a loss...like 90+% of the time..and being LSU THIS year...99%.

Don't get me wrong I was not implying that McNeese was going to win the game but the comment that McNeese is only undefeated because the game was canceled is ridiculous. If only the App/Michigan game would have been canceled we could have chalked that up for another win for Michigan. We could say, if only any of the teams on the list played LSU this year they wouldn't be undefeated. The game didn't happen so you cant make that assumption. Bottom line is McNeese is undefeated and the D looks pretty good right now. Hopefully the injury bug of the past doesn't come up to bite us.

Completely agree. A loss is a loss. Doesn't matter who it is to.

[mvemjsunpx]

Even if it's an opponent that no FCS team would ever be expected to beat? xeyebrowx

Can you truly be undefeated with a loss?

Before this year I would have disagreed with this. But after seeing Jacksonville State, and EKU. You have a very valid argument.

[McNeese75]

Yep

LSU has yet to play anyone.

They will lose to Alabama and Texas A&M because they can not pass the football.
