College Football Streak Watch, North Dakota State's Run Hits 4

Somebody is always rolling and somebody is always spiraling, that is what makes a league a league. Here is the current College Football streak board, longest runs first.

As of this morning, 42 different teams are riding runs of three or more in one direction or the other, a busy board by any standard.

The win-column crowd

North Dakota State just keep stacking, four wins in a row, the best active streak going. At some point a run stops being a coincidence and starts being a statement, and they are somewhere past that point.

USC are building a case of their own at 4 straight.

And Kansas State make it a crowd with 3 consecutive wins.

Stuck in the barrel

Western Kentucky cannot find the exit: three consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.

Rutgers are on a slide of their own at 3 straight losses.

Bowling Green have lost 3 straight themselves, in case anyone at the cold end needed company.

At a glance

For the record, here is everything currently running at three-plus:

Worth remembering

A 4-game run is long enough that it stops being a footnote and starts being the lead, expect it to come up in every broadcast until it ends.

None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.
