We have arrived at the midpoint of the college football season, or as close as we’re going to get to it, with exactly 100 out of 131 FBS teams having played at least six games.
Some, like 5-1 Illinois, have put their best-laid plans into action. Others, like 1-5 Northwestern, are asking themselves where the heck life went wrong. Nine teams have gotten halfway through the regular season without losing (and six others are 5-0). Mercifully, no team has gotten halfway through without winning (though one, Colorado, is 0-5).
