2022 Pursuit of Perfection

[taper]

To separate overall and FCS only, # denotes an FBS loss and ^ a sub-D1 win.
Jacksonville St and Sam Houston are playing an FCS schedule so I'm counting them as FCS. James Madison is likewise FBS. Don't like it? Things will probably sort themselves out in the next few weeks.
Let me know if I missed anything.

This has been an interesting dilemma, as for the How They Fared worksheet, I have considered JSU and SHSU to be FCS, but have considered all games played against them as out-of-conference (OOC)...even though I know they are being counted as "conference" games. Right or wrong, this has been my treatment of such games.

The funny thing is if SHSU was counted as FBS, Northern Arizona would be in the loss column...but with an FBS win.

We should be able to keep our streak going for at least 3 more weeks (probably longer)...at SDSU, bye week, at SIU.

[nevadagriz]

So what you are saying is there are 11 undefeated teams.

Perfection does not take in caveats of playing up you need to win every game to be perfect.

This. NDSU doesn't get a pass for playing Arizona any more than Drake gets a pass for playing NDSU.

I've explicitly noted FCS only and overall records. Take whichever you like.

Good news for WIU, they didn't lose this week.

[dewey]

Maybe I am missing something but Tennessee Martin lost to Missouri State on 8 September 35-30.

Good catch, it's why I ask people to look for errors. You can imagine this is a lot of data to sort through and I usually miss at least one.

We gave @BYE a pretty good ass whuppin.

We did well against them, but ultimately came up a bit short. Their 0 points, 0 rushing yards, and 0 passing yards were just too much for our offense to overcome.

I guess I should congratulate teams on their first win of the season, but 3 of them wrecked me in the Crazy 8s.

Charleston Southern won at Bryant (24-23) back on 10/15.

MVSU with a 35% chance of a win this week (from Massey)
Robert Morris with 15%
and my Leathernecks with a solid...6% chance to take down the Bison. My prediction...NDSU fans outnumber WIU fans at this WIU "home" game.

EDIT - Looks like we now hold the longest active losing streak in DI football at 10 games (nobody in FBS is winless, some only due to playing an FCS team):

None of the remaining teams play each other so this could be it for the regular season. 3 true undefeated after the postseason is also possible.

[Ivytalk]

I think Yale will knock off Princeton at the Bowl next Saturday in the Ivy GOTW.

[ST_Lawson]

WIU gets its last reasonable chance at a win this season when we host Indiana State this weekend.
Massey is giving us ~47% chance, so it's essentially a coin-flip.
We travel to Illinois State in the final weekend of the season, where we currently have only a 15% chance at a win.

[NY Crusader 2010]

Supposedly mother nature is going to be on the Crusader side of things this weekend in Worcester but Bryant is a much larger threat to our undefeated season than people think. Their offense is Top 10 in FCS statistically and exploits our biggest weakness right now.

This Saturday should be Bryant's Super Bowl. IMO the Big South has two of the most underrated teams in FCS this year in Gardner-Webb and Bryant.

Just one change this week. SDSU doesn't play this week so they're the first to have an undefeated FCS season. North Alabama is at Memphis so they won't get an FCS win, though it would be great if they end the season with both a D2 and FBS win.
