Undefeated FBS college football teams in 2023

The most successful walk-ons in recent college football history

We start with 133 teams without a loss and quickly go down from there. An undefeated season is the college football dream, but only a special group have found perfection. Last season, Georgia went 15-0 to win its second consecutive national championship. Will we see another unbeaten run in 2023?

Follow along as we keep track of the remaining undefeated teams. Schools are listed by College Football Ranking rankings, then by alphabetical order if they're not ranked.

No. 1 Ohio State (10-0)

  • Next game: vs Minnesota on Saturday, Nov. 18
  • Last undefeated season: 2012 (12-0, finished No. 3 in AP poll)

Buckeyes wide receiver Marvin Harrison bolstered his Heisman resume and Ohio State's playoff chances with a three touchdown performance in a win over Michigan State.

No. 2 Georgia (10-0)

  • Next game: at Tennessee on Nov. 18
