Football Outsiders: Clemson emerges as strongest bet to go unbeaten

It is difficult to go undefeated in college football. Only eight teams in the past five seasons have managed to run the table through the regular season, and only three of those teams -- Auburn and TCU in 2010 and Florida State in 2013 -- followed it up with conference title and a bowl victory.

Of the 16 remaining undefeated teams, who has the best chance to run the table? Clemson, according to Football Outsiders' FEI Ratings. FEI Ratings are based on opponent-adjusted drive efficiency and the net success of each team's non-garbage possessions against FBS opponents, with special emphasis placed on efficient performances against good teams, win or lose. Game projections for each remaining opponent are a function of the FEI ratings, an adjustment for home field advantage and the projected scoring pace of the game. The percentage of likelihood each undefeated team will win out is a function of each remaining single-game projection.

Clemson leads the pack. But the No. 2 most likely team to stay unbeaten will make your jaw hit the floor.

1. Clemson Tigers (5-0)
69.2 percent chance to win out (up from 41.9 percent last week)
