SFA's 16-straight regular season wins (2024-present) is ranked #23 all-time in Division I (FCS) history, tied with the 1989-90 Georgia Southern and 2010-11 Sam Houston State teams.

If SFA gets #17 they will be tied with Appalachian State 2006-07 and move up to #18 all-time

The record is 31-straight regular season wins set by North Dakota State 2017-2021.

- SFA is 6-0
- Lamar is 4-1 and 2-0 in SLC play
- HCU has quietly climbed to 2-1 in conference play
- Southeastern has won 3 straight
- Nicholls has lost 3 straight
- Northwestern State remains winless

I expect Austin Peay to knock off Tarleton this Saturday. Tarleton has been overated all season, in my opinion.
