Over the past 10 college football seasons, only nine FBS schools have posted a perfect record. A handful of other schools were unbeaten heading into their bowl game or the playoffs during that span, only to drop their first game.

Perfection is the goal for many but the outcome for few. It's inevitable that a loss will come at some point, no matter how good a team is, so it's best to be prepared for that outcome ahead of time. We're taking this concept one step further, by predicting the initial loss for every projected Associated Press preseason Top 25 team.

The new playoff system (and accompanying access bowl lineup) makes it unlikely for there to be no more than two unbeaten teams in 2015-16, but we're going on the assumption that just one team will survive the year unscathed. In the case of teams that make it through their scheduled games without a setback and thus would lose in the postseason, our predictions are based on Bleacher Report's post-spring bowl projections.

Check out where we think every projected Top 25 team will fall and then give us your thoughts in the comments section.
