Analysis Undefeated and winless teams across the FCS after week 3 (2026)
With the Ivy League having started play this past weekend only Grambling is in limbo, and we have 33 teams that have yet to lose an FCS game. On the other end, there are 19 teams that have yet to get a win of any sort (my team unfortunately included after Abilene Christian at last got a win for this year), and 15 more that have yet to have a Division I victory of any sort.

Idaho might go winless all season.

It’s looking like ‘Four Win Ford” might be “No Win Ford” by season end. Only silver lining is it might get him fired, or more likely in Vandalville somehow signed for an extension.

We have him til ‘29. We’ll have to pass the cup around to make a change I’m afraid.

It’s not a huge buyout though.

u/wildjackalope Idaho Vandals 27d ago
I haven’t seen anything published. Assuming it’s fairly standard and about two years of salary we’d still need booster money. I don’t see our AD paying out until after next season.

If Gawlik is still around! I have deep booster connections and rumblings are that admin doesn’t like her and she may be moving on.

u/wildjackalope Idaho Vandals 27d ago
That definitely wouldn’t break my heart!

u/LvlHeadThoroughbred Idaho • Washington State 27d ago
We can only hope, but we Vandals very rarely get good things. Go Vandals still though!

Is it really that bad up in Moscow this year?

u/wildjackalope Idaho Vandals 27d ago
Last week I had us at maybe three wins. If we don’t beat Portland St, we may genuinely get shut out.
We’re bad.

We at least have basketball (both teams) to look forward to for a change. The respective coaches have done them a lot of good.
And I hear soccer and volleyball is going rather well. Especially the latter, after what they have been through.
