Undefeated Teams in Men's College Basketball: Predictions for Losses

As of early December 2025, several teams remain undefeated in men's college basketball, each with unique strengths and challenges ahead. The Michigan Wolverines, sitting at 9-0, are seen as the most likely to maintain their perfect record, facing their toughest challenge on January 30 against Michigan State.

According to Bleacher Report, Michigan's star forward Yaxel Lendeborg and a strong supporting cast have led them to dominate their opponents, boasting the top defense in the nation and a staggering +37 net rating.

Other undefeated teams include the Nebraska Cornhuskers, expected to face potential losses on December 10 against Wisconsin and December 13 at Illinois, while the Miami (OH) RedHawks are predicted to encounter trouble as they face Wright State on December 16.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys, who are also undefeated, could face their first loss on December 13 against Oklahoma. Arizona, Iowa State, Duke, and Vanderbilt are additionally in the mix, each with challenging matchups ahead that could put their undefeated status at risk.

According to SB Nation, the Wildcats and Cyclones are also under pressure to maintain their records with tough games looming in December and January, respectively. The unpredictability of college basketball means that any of these teams could face an upset, especially as they navigate their conference schedules and potential tournament bids.
