College football's longest active regular-season win streaks

How the 12-team College Football Playoff works

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. 30

Longest active regular-season win streaks in college football
(min. 18 games)
Regular-SEason Win Streak School Division
75 Mount Union DIII
47 North Central DIII
25 DePauw DIII
19 Kutztown* DII
19 Oregon FBS
18 Springfield DIII
18 Cortland DIII
18 Hardin-Simmons DIII
  • The longest active win streak at the FCS level is currently held by Montana State at 12 games

*Kutztown's 2023 and 2024 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.
