Now that each team in FBS has played at least half of their scheduled games for the year, only three teams outside of the Power Five have yet to lose a game. 

Those three squads are the 6-0 #22 Air Force Falcons, the 6-0 Liberty Flames, and the 6-0 James Madison Dukes.

The Falcons are coming off of a home win against Wyoming where they had more than 400 total yards of offense for the fifth time this season. Air Force are bowl eligible for the third straight season.

Liberty most recently defeated Jacksonville State 31-13. The 6-0 Flames are bowl eligible as well for the fifth year in a row. They have achieved at least six wins in each of their seasons in FBS. 

James Madison rolled to a 41-13 win over Georgia Southern this week. The Dukes are not eligible for postseason play due to FCS transition rules.
