2024 College Football odds suggest that the possibility of an undefeated regular season is on the table.
As the college football season approaches Week 11, five teams stand tall without a loss: No. 1 Oregon, No. 4 Miami, No. 8 Indiana, No. 9 BYU, and No. 18 Army.
Interestingly, the inclusion of Indiana, BYU, and Army in this elite group raises eyebrows among fans and analysts alike.
Could one of these five teams finish the season undefeated?
To explore this, let’s examine the betting odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of November 4.

The likelihood of a team finishing undefeated largely hinges on its schedule.
Oregon has navigated a challenging schedule, securing victories against formidable opponents like Ohio State, Illinois, and Michigan. With three games left against Maryland, Wisconsin, and Washington, their opponents hold a combined record of 14-12.
Crucially, two of these remaining games will be played at home, where the Ducks are expected to dominate.
Miami’s upcoming matches include Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, and Syracuse, whose collective record stands at 15-10.
However, the Hurricanes have yet to secure a win against a ranked opponent this season.
Indiana also lacks a ranked victory this season, facing a tough road ahead with two of their last three games against Michigan and No. 3 Ohio State. They are not favored to win against the Buckeyes.
BYU, not known as a football powerhouse, has one ranked win against then-No. 13 Kansas State. Their remaining opponents include Utah (4-4), Kansas (2-6), Arizona State (6-2), and Houston (4-5).
Finally, Army has emerged as one of the season’s surprises.
To maintain their undefeated status, Army must defeat North Texas in Week 11, then navigate a challenging matchup against No. 10 Notre Dame on November 23. Following that, they face UTSA on November 30 and their traditional rival, Navy, on December 14.
Notably, Notre Dame has already played spoiler this season, as demonstrated when Navy entered their game undefeated at 6-0, only to lose decisively, 51-14.
