Undefeated no more: Predicting which eight perfect CFB teams will lose in Week 5

After Week 4, 26 undefeated teams remain in FBS. 

With a pair of undefeated games in Week 5, those numbers are guaranteed to drop this weekend. But the losers of Illinois-Penn State and Georgia-Alabama won’t be the only ones disappointed on Saturday.

Below are eight teams we believe will lose for the first time this season in Week 5, ranked from our most (1) to least (8) confident predictions.

Note: All times are Eastern.

1. UNLV (3-0)

vs. Fresno State (3-1, 1-0 in MWC) • 3:30 p.m., FS1

UNLV took a massive, stunning hit when quarterback Matthew Sluka, who transferred from FCS Holy Cross, left the program. In a statement posted to social media, Sluka alleged that “certain representations that were made to me…were not upheld after I enrolled,” and “it became clear that these commitments would not be fulfilled in the future.”
