With the start of the college football season now almost upon us, we are somewhat heading into uncharted territory.
Not only do we have a number of teams playing in new conferences this season, we also have an expanded playoff setup, with no less than 12 teams making it into the postseason this year.
My Analysis
While things may look a little different, the goal for every team remains the same, which is to win the National Championship.
Only one team can do that, though, with the usual favorites sitting atop the bookies board.
The team that wins it all could well end up going unbeaten all the way, just as Georgia and Michigan have done in recent years, but which teams have a shot at going unbeaten tis regular season, and how far can they go?
^Georgia Bulldogs
You have to start out by talking about the Bulldogs, who look to be the class of college football, never mind just the SEC. In Carson Beck they have an NFL ready QB, as well as a depth of talent at every position. The Bulldogs do have a tougher schedule than most, but they still have a shot at 12-0.
^Oregon
This will be the first season in the Big ten for the Ducks, and while that means tougher opponents, this is another team that looks stacked from top to bottom.
They also have the majority of their bigger games at home, with just one game against a nationally ranked team on the road.
An unbeaten season will be tough to achieve, but Oregon has all the tools to do it and make a deep playoff run.
^Big Ten
Staying in this Conference, you have a feeling that Ryan Day has something to prove with the Ohio State Buckeyes, who have been bested by Michigan over the past few seasons.
The Buckeyes have reloaded, and with Jim Harbaugh now back in the NFL, they might just be ready to wrestle back conference control.
Week 1 will give us a good idea of what to expect from the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, as they will open against Texas A&M Aggies in what looks to be easily their toughest game of the season.
They will also face Florida State and Louisville later in the year, but with both of those games coming at home, you like their chances to get the win.
The new 12-team playoff could benefit Notre Dame more than most.
Okay, we also have to look at the group of Five teams when trying to figure out who might go unbeaten, and we have a couple of teams that could potentially do it.
The James Madison Dukes had a stellar season last year before falling to Appalachian State, and while they have a new coach and some new personnel, they still look very strong.
^Liberty Flames
Another team to keep an eye on here is the Flames, as they have already proven they can go the unbeaten route, doing it last season.
This is a team that could well be knocking on the door of the playoffs if they can repeat that 12-0 mark from last year.

College Football Profiles For the Remaining Undefeated Teams
Georgia Bulldogs | 9-0
RSW Odds: 11.5: O -179 / U +145
The Bulldogs haven’t been as dominant as they were last season, but UGA is undefeated and the offense appears to be coming around.
The Dawgs have scored 51, 37, 43, and 30 in their last 4 games when beating Kentucky, Florida Vanderbilt, Florida, and Georgia Missouri. If Georgia can trounce 10-ranked Ole Miss and 17-ranked Tennessee before their yearly destruction of interstate rival Georgia Tech, UGA will take an unblemished record into the SEC Championship.

Michigan Wolverines | 9-0
RSW Odds: 11.5: O -141 / U +115
Although Michigan has yet to play a single ranked squad, the Wolverines have impressed. Michigan followed up a 49-0 victory over rival Michigan State two games back with a 41-13 win over Purdue in their last.
This Saturday, the Wolverines take on 1-loss Penn State. The 11-ranked Nittany Lions host the Wolverines. If the Maize and Blue get by Penn State, Michigan should be in line for an undefeated battle against rival Ohio State in their final regular season game. The winner could enter the CFP the playoff’s top seed.

Ohio State Buckeyes | 9-0
RSW Odds: –
Ohio State was the CFP Selection Committee’s top ranked team last week. That could change this week because the Buckeyes garnered the top ranking due to beating then 9-Notre Dame 17-14 in South Bend. But the Irish lost their third game of the season, which will send them out of the College Football Playoff Top 25.
Still, Ohio State shouldn’t drop more than a couple of spots because the Buckeyes also beat 11-Penn State 20-12. The Buckeyes must only take down Michigan in their final regular season game, without suffering an upset loss to Michigan State or Minnesota, to make it to the College Football Playoff.

Florida State Seminoles | 9-0
RSW Odds: 11.5: O -224 / U +179
Florida State is another squad whose wins over ranked teams don’t look as impressive now as they did when the Seminoles got the victories.
LSU, which ranked fifth in the nation when Florida State beat them in College Football Week 1, suffered a third loss of the season this past Saturday versus rival Alabama. The Tigers, like Notre Dame for Ohio State, should drop out of the Top 25, which means FSU’s quality victory isn’t as quality as it was early in the season.
Florida State could very well fall out of the College Football Playoff top four rankings this week because the other ranked team FSU beat, the Duke Blue Devils, has also lost three.

Washington Huskies | 9-0
RSW Odds: –
Washington could overtake Florida State in the Top 4. The Huskies not only beat ranked USC this past Saturday, but also beat Oregon. Heading into College Football Week 10, the Huskies ranked fifth.
Oregon ranked sixth on the first College Football Playoff Rankings last week. So a Washington move up by a spot isn’t out of the question. Whether Washington makes it into the top four or not, if the Huskies win out, they will be in the top four before the Pac 12 Championship.
The Huskies face 18-Utah this Saturday before taking on 16-Oregon State on November 18.

James Madison Dukes | 9-0
RSW Odds: –
The Dukes are playing great football. James Madison should go undefeated. If they do, it will be difficult to keep the Dukes from a a high-profile bowl game, not necessarily a New Year’s Day Bowl, but a top second-tier bowl is possible.
However, the Dukes have no shot of winning the College Football Playoff National Championship. The reason is because James Madison won’t play a single ranked opponent during the regular season.

Liberty Flames | 9-0
RSW Odds: –
Liberty has an outside shot to make the College Football Playoff. By outside, we mean Liberty’s odds to win the National Championship are at 100,000 to 1.
But Liberty should attract a New Year’s Day Bowl bid should they win out. The Flames take on Old Dominion, UMass, and UTEP in their next three. No doubt, the Flames should go 12-0 and then trounce Jacksonville State, like they did earlier in the season, in the CUSA title game.

Odds for the Undefeated Teams Reaching the College Football Playoffs
Michigan Wolverines
Odds To Make CFB Playoffs: Yes -159 / NO +130
The Wolverines take on Penn State, Maryland, and then battle Ohio State in Ann Arbor. John Harbaugh owns the Buckeyes. So that should be a win. So the only real danger is on the road at Penn State this Saturday. If the Wolverines get by the Nittany Lions, an undefeated regular season is assured.
The Wolverines should have zero trouble trouncing Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Nebraska in the Big Ten title game. Michigan heads to the CFP with a 13-0 record.

Ohio State Buckeyes
Odds To Make CFB Playoffs: Yes +115 / NO -141
Ohio State should lose a single game this season, versus Michigan in Ann Arbor.
With an 11-1 record, and because the only loss will be to 13-0 Michigan, the Buckeyes ticket to the CFP is all but assured.

Washington Huskies
Odds To Make CFB Playoffs: Yes +145 / NO -179
Unlike Ohio State and Michigan, Washington has a tough stretch to end the regular season. The Huskies take on Utah at home this Saturday before traveling to Oregon State. The yearly final game of the regular season against rival Washington State isn’t a for sure win.
Even if the Huskies lose just 1-of-3, they’ll likely face Oregon in the Pac 12 Championship. The Ducks are playing better than Washington right now. So beating the Ducks won’t happen. A New Year’s Day Bowl bid is as far as Washington goes.

Georgia Bulldogs
Odds To Make CFB Playoffs: Yes -238 / NO +190
Georgia should go undefeated during the regular season. However, the Dawgs will lose to Alabama in the SEC Championship, which could put their College Football Playoff dreams in jeopardy.
The question will be whether Washington is undefeated when they fall to Oregon or if the Huskies have at least one loss. The guess is that Georgia stamps their ticket because Alabama will be ranked in Top 5 and a loss to a top five ranked Bama side won’t ding the Dawgs much.

Florida State Seminoles

Florida State will lose two more games before the Selection Committee makes their final College Football Playoff decisions. The first loss will come against the Florida Gators in The Swamp on November 25.
The second loss will happen in the ACC Championship to the Louisville Cardinals. So the Seminoles won’t win out and make it to the College Football Playoff.
