Two records are a long, long way away. Longest DI winning streak is 47(Oklahoma 1953-57) and longest DI unbeaten streak is 63(Washington 1907-17*).



*Can you imagine going a decade without losing a game? (59-0-4) Impressive no matter the era.

47 really isnt that far away at this point. Especially since no FBS next year (Not that those have been a problem)

It is and it isn't. We're 68% of the way there. But it's still a full season away with the playoffs in the middle. How many teams in the playoff era have been able to go undefeated through a full season? And how many very good teams couldn't quite make it and ended up with one loss?

If there is any program that can do it, it is this one

Who says they have to lose again?

Well with Wentz a senior next year, it might not be until 2016. Seriously.

Updated rankings are out, up to 34.

One spot ahead of Marshall, who is also 8-0. The wacky world we live in.

[Hammersmith]

Remember when that UNI game looked really scary? Not so much anymore. (on paper) Even more so with SDSU. In the top-25, Harvard jumped and McNeese took a tumble. Montana out, Idaho State in(who would have thought that a few years ago?). In the conference standings, the SoCon jumped into 2nd and pushed everyone down a slot. Big South stays in, Big Sky stays out. And the Valley is still nipping at the heels of the AAC & MWC.

Has our conference rating basically topped out?? I know it'll change a little bit from week to week based on how are teams do compared to others. But considering we are all in conference play it feels like there is nothing our teams can do to improve. Is the only way we can improve as a conference is for our BCS wins (Iowa St and Ball St, etc) to actually win games??

[No_Skill]

It just seems strange that UNI is still so highly rated.

There losses have been by 1 3 3 and 8 and the 2 worst ones were on the road to FBS teams.

Yeah, I know the reasoning behind it. Maybe "strange" wasn't the right word.

Can you imagine being a uni fan right now? That has to be tough.
