We all know about Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma and LSU but which remaining undefeated college football teams are most underrated?
Clemson, Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Penn State are all still undefeated at this point of the college football season. However, there are five FBS teams that are also unscathed and not ranked in the top 10 of either of the major polls.
From those five teams that are undefeated but not ranked in the top 10, two are from a Power Five conference, one is from the American Athletic Conference, one is from the Sun Belt and one is from the Mountain West.
As stated last week, these teams have continued to have had some close calls and have won some games by single-digits. However, with four out of the five teams mentioned being 6-0 at this point of the season, the five non-top-10 ranked teams that are still unbeaten have found ways to win and have overcome adversity to remain perfect.
It doesn’t matter if these teams have not beaten AP Top 25 teams, it’s inspirational and somewhat remarkable that these squads have found ways to beat everyone on their schedules entering this weekend’s games.
The schools fans and alums are more than likely surprised that their teams are unbeaten at this time of the season. Even though they are halfway through their regular season schedule entering the second week of October, having not lost a single game at this point is a reason for confidence among the fans.
Among the five teams that are not receiving a ton of national recognition and that are still unbeaten, a few of them have more inspiring wins than others. A select few have won some games by five touchdowns or more and all have at least three road victories at the mid-point of the regular season.
The five teams have developed somewhat of an identity and with those defined characteristics it is essential that they continue to embrace their identity to continue to win games. They have utilized their strengths and overcame their weaknesses to find ways to earn victories.
Let’s once again take a look and see where the five undefeated teams in the FBS are ranked this week that not many fans, college football experts and media analysts are talking about.
