Analysis Undefeated and winless teams across the FCS after week 5 (2026)
Man, that is quite a dangerous time to be ranked, isn't it? Nine undefeated teams, one of which in the #1 FCS, has been knocked down. And to my relief, the team that beat them is finally out of the winless category. Also worth mentioning that #9 Tennessee Tech had succumbed to the cannibalism plaguing the SoCon elite. The undefeated and winless categories now sit at fifteen teams apiece (of which five of the latter have yet to win any game).

Being undefeated was so fun but this was going to happen eventually.
