As the 2024 college football season continues into October, we’re tracking all the teams that are still in contention for a perfect season.
Heading into Week 7, only 12 FBS teams remain undefeated. The Big Ten leads the way with four unbeaten teams — the SEC lost three of its four undefeated teams in the Week 6 chaos.
Teams are listed by the ranking in the latest AP Top 25 poll, then in alphabetical order.
No. 1 Texas
Record: 5-0 (1-0 SEC)
Last game: Defeated Mississippi State, 35-13
Last undefeated season: 2005 (13-0, won BCS National Championship Game)
The Longhorns were one of six undefeated SEC teams heading into Week 5. Now, as we approach Week 7, Steve Sarkisian’s squad is the only one remaining. Georgia and Ole Miss both fell in Week 5. Then, Alabama, Tennessee and Missouri each dropped their first games in the historic Week 6 slate. Texas is yet to be truly challenged this season, with its only ranked game against a now-No. 24 Michigan four weeks ago.
However, the Longhorns enter their toughest stretch of the season this Saturday, when they will face Oklahoma in the always unpredictable Red River Rivalry before taking on No. 5 Georgia on Oct. 19.

If the Buckeyes prevail, they have a week off to prepare for Nebraska and then No. 4 Penn State on Nov. 2.
