I don't think that this will happen. At least, I HOPE it won't happen. But it COULD happen.
There are currently three undefeated teams: Indiana, Oregon, and Penn State.
Indiana does not play Penn State or Oregon.
And Oregon doesn't play Penn State.
They COULD all end the season undefeated. And that's the problem with no divisions.
Of course, Ohio State plays all three, and SHOULD beat Indiana and Penn State, making my fears moot.
But this is kind of a possibility.

No Jarhead here, I was a Soldier

One of my more insane assignments was to manage the Military Desk at SEATAC, January - May 1968. Planes bringing troops home from Vietnam would land at McChord, Air Force personnel would be cleaned up at McChord and sent to SEATAC, Soldiers to Ft. Lewis, Sailors and Marines to Pier 19 in Seattle. They'd come to my desk to get TRs (Travel Requests), then get their airline ticket, then hit the bar about 20 yards from my desk. I could always count on fights between the 101st Airborne and the Marines. If that didn't work, a jarhead would call the USS Forestall a "boat" and the squids would get highly agitated.

So there they are, kids with CIBs, Silver Sars, Bronze Stars, Purple Hearts, Combat Ribbons and I walk in to break up the fights with a butter bar on my shoulder and the NDSM on my chest.

It's stories similar to this that make me always think, "If you only knew", when they thank me for my service. I was about as chair force as it gets in my time in the Army. In fact, if I were still in, I'd be Space Force. Which I'm a contractor for now, so I basically am, just don't have to put on greens and stand in formation. Not to mention, no one is approaching me about extra duty or sticking around for some random training.

Indiana gives Big Ten national title three-peat for first time since World War II era

Indiana gives Big Ten first national title three-peat since World War II era as league asserts dominance​

The Big Ten has done something it hadn't done since Franklin D. Roosevelt was president​

For nearly two decades, college football's balance of power went one way: south. From 2006 through 2022, the SEC collected 13 national championships, a run fueled by Nick Saban's Alabama machine. The league looked untouchable. Now, the Big Ten has done something it hadn't done since Franklin D. Roosevelt was president and the world was at war: win three consecutive national championships.

Michigan in 2023. Ohio State in 2024. And now Indiana in 2025 with its first national title, ever, after holding on to defeat Miami in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday night.

Read that again.

The last time the Big Ten pulled off a three-peat, college football looked very different. Minnesota won in 1940 and 1941, Ohio State followed in 1942 and World War II was raging as players left for military service.

Eighty-three years later, the Big Ten has returned to that rare level -- and in arguably the toughest era of the sport.

Michigan cracked the door two seasons ago before Ohio State kicked it down, running through the first 12-team College Football Playoff. And then came Indiana, a program with zero national championships to its name, crashing college football's most exclusive club with an undefeated 2025 run that will go down as one of the most dominant seasons of the 21st century.

This current streak for the Big Ten further cements its place in history. The conference adds to its total, making it the league with the most national championships in college football, with 33 across eight programs.

For the first time in a generation, college football's center of gravity has shifted north -- and the Big Ten has owned it.
