For all the talk of the madness of this college football season, the sport has more undefeated teams at this point in a season than it’s had in nearly a decade.
Ten programs remain unbeaten after Week 8. That’s two more than at this point last year and the most since there were 12 unblemished teams after Week 8 of the 2015 season.
Of the 10, seven are from power conference leagues: Big Ten (3), Big 12 (2) and ACC (2). Two are military academies in the AAC, Army and Navy, which are both unbeaten for the first time this late in a season since World War II.
