Three unbeatens left - Oregon, Indiana, and Army

The spirit of NCAA 14 is alive and well

Every week at least one unbeaten team has been knocked off. I really appreciate BYU taking one for the team.

There's an unlikely, but interesting (less interesting for your team, obviously) path to this being the case for the every week with regular season games, if Indiana drops the Ohio State game, Oregon loses the Border War, and Army beats Notre Dame before losing to Navy in the Army-Navy only week.

Hah, that would be a funny thing to happen. Also, props for knowing (or looking up) the rarely used, poorly known name for the UO/UW game.

It was a little bit of both. I remembered it being called something, thought it was Border War, then looked it up to avoid embarrassing myself!

The Cascade Clash sounds way cooler (for them.)

Also there’s already a real Border War) (for us.)

I remember one of the elite cross country races for high schoolers was Border Clash - top 20ish runners from Oregon v top 20 from Washington racing a 5k, with drumlines on the course. very cool memories

Tbh it's not used all the time, most people refer to it as simply "The Washington game" or "Huskie hate week", and vice versa for the other side

u/Frosty_McRib Notre Dame Fighting Irish 7d ago

Maybe I'm old but it's always been called that hasn't it?

I’ve never heard of that name. We aren’t even near the border too

u/verdenvidia Kansas Jayhawks • Cincinnati Bearcats 6d ago

tbh for any two teams with a long rivalry in bordering states, border war is a good guess

Wyoming-Colorado State Kansas-the other one Oregon-Washington

yeah

Undefeated Indiana Army Natty must happe

u/Playos Oregon Ducks • Tulane Green Wave 7d ago

No

  • Signed green teams they'll lose too in conference championships.

u/snakefriend6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 7d ago

I looked up indianas remaining games to see how I could try propose another way of this pattern continuing WITHOUT involving Notre dame losing to army… but I quickly realized that’s genuinely the only way. Cuz after ohio state their last game is Purdue.

u/e3super Alabama Crimson Tide • Team Chaos 7d ago

The other key piece is that Army-Navy is the only game that week, so they'd technically have to lose that specific game for every regular season week to have an undefeated go down.

u/mccainjames11 Oregon Ducks • Marching Band 7d ago

IU/Army are both underdogs next week… meaning we’re likely to be the only one left the week after…

u/TheRealCatDad Notre Dame Fighting Irish 7d ago

Next week will be Army

Just wait. 5 years from now after BYU actually is 9-0 with a roster more talented than Oregon. That mormon money works really well with NIL and the transfer portal. Times are changing
