Out of sheer pettiness, I intentionally excluded Ivy League schools, since it’s not like Princeton or Harvard need my help coming up with dubious titles. I combed through the annual standings, looking for teams that finished completely undefeated (no losses or ties or forfeit wins) but do not formally claim a title from that year.

Lord knows UCF’s claim to a national title ain’t as weird as a bunch of other ones claimed by bigger schools, including some who lost their bowl games, or, in the case of Alabama, lost twice and finished 20th in the dang AP Poll. As the lone undefeated team in FBS, UCF decided it was actually the national champion. In 2017, UCF went undefeated, won the American, and knocked off #7 Auburn, which beat both of the teams playing for the national title.
