It’s hard to finish a regular season undefeated in college football, but a few teams every year across NCAA divisions achieve the mighty feat, with some teams impressively finishing regular seasons unbeaten in consecutive years.
I’ve gathered the data from the FBS, FCS, DII and DIII levels of football to find out which programs have the longest active regular-season win streaks in college football. A regular-season win streak means counting games during the regular season beginning in “Week 0” through the last regular-season game, not counting conference championships, playoffs or bowl games. Check out the list below:
Through regular season games played through Saturday, Nov. 2
| Regular-SEason Win Streak | School | Division |
|---|---|---|
| 72 | Mount Union | DIII |
| 44 | North Central | DIII |
| 22 | DePauw | DIII |
| 18 | Whitworth | DIII |
| 17 | Kutztown* | DII |
| 15 | Springfield | DIII |
| 15 | Cortland | DIII |
| 15 | Oregon | FBS |
| 15 | Hardin-Simmons | DIII |
- The longest active win streak at the FCS level is currently held by Montana State and North Dakota State at 9 games
*Kutztown’s win over Slippery Rock in the 2023 PSAC conference championship game counts towards DII regular-season wins because only four conferences have actual conference championship games, but that conference championship game IS NOT counted in this list for equity among other divisions that play conference championship games.
