If a football team finishes with a record of 15-0-1, (15 wins, 0 losses and 1 tie), is it still technically an undefeated season?

My one friend says no, because the team failed to win every game.

I say winning every game is what makes your season perfect, not undefeated.  Even though they're imperfect, they were still technically undefeated by the fact that they have 0 in the loss column.  Just like how an 0-15-1 team is still winless (I'm still convinced that I won this debate with this point).

My uncle says a tie just counts as a loss for both teams.

And my roommate brought up a good point too, what if the team you tied, you already beat them earlier in the season?  Then what do you make of it?

What's your view?

Yeah, they win.

If beaten earlier in season, thats a different game.

Winning every game makes a season perfect, but NEVER ACTUALLY LOSING A GAME MAKES YOU UNDEFEATED!!!!! A team that is 0-15-1 IS winless, because they haven't actually won a game yet.

In other news I'm pretty sure that was the how my school's football team finished the season.

I happen to think you're pretty dandy.

Undefeated means just that; undefeated. So IMO, even with a tie, that team in undefeated.

If beaten earlier in season, thats a different game.
