Following a loss by Miami to Notre Dame, only two teams remain undefeated in the FBS for the 2026 season: Utah and UCLA, according to a November 10 report.
Of the 136 teams that began the season with the opportunity for a perfect record, only these two remain without a loss.
Utah holds the No. 2 ranking with a 9-0 record. The team is currently the top team in the Big 12 and enters their next matchup with a 15-game win streak.
Utah's recent victories include ranked wins over No. 18 Houston and No. 9 BYU in Week 10. The Utes are scheduled to play at Arizona on Nov. 14.
UCLA is ranked No. 4 and also holds a 9-0 record. The Bruins were predicted to finish 12th in the Big Ten Preseason Poll but remain undefeated after a 34-20 victory over Minnesota.
UCLA is scheduled to play Illinois on Nov. 13, with a season finale against Southern California still pending.
The current trend of perfect seasons follows recent national champions, including Indiana, which finished 16-0 last season, and 2023 champion Michigan.
