Indiana Ruling 2025 Football. Google It!

by: Sugar (October 15, 2025)


We are at the halfway point of the college football season and about one-third complete with the big boys and it's pretty clear that the state of Indiana is dominating the sport in 2025. If you haven't been paying attention, that may surprise you some. But here's the deal. The Indiana Hoosiers are undefeated and just took down Oregon AT Eugene. Let that sink in for a minute. The losingest program in college football is a power to be reckoned with and is sitting at #3 overall in the national polls. They would be higher if the name on their jersey didn't say Indiana. And their Coach, Curt Cignetti, was panned at the beginning of last season when he told reporters, "I win. Google me." No need to Google now. And over in big-boy land, the Indianapolis Colts are tied for the best record in the NFL with Tampa Bay at 5-1. We checked and Peyton Manning is still hocking anything somebody will pay him for and not QBing the Colts after all. So, congratulations to Indianians (or whatever they go by) for not looking forward to basketball season already, like is typical for mid October.

For CFCC Week 7, there were several 13-2 records on an average score of 60.2 but it was Kevin Oram from Sherwood, AR that bested the field with 110 points, missing only on the Iowa State and Florida losses. Great job, Kevin! Phil Stiegman from Sierra Vista, AZ was a close 2nd with 108 points, while Megan McCoy from Arlington, TX was 3rd. Overall, Jeremy Buckles from Strawberry Plains, TN leads the overall contest for the 6th week in a row. Jeremy was in 2nd place after Week 1 and has led the contest since! Linda English remains in 2nd place with 2022 Champion Tom Fannin up another spot to #3 overall. Heidi Holland from Clayton, NC was up a whopping 47 spots and into #4. Scott Franke is in 5th place. And a special shout-out to dirty-dawg Charter Member Mike Coyne, who was up 9 spots to #9. In Group Play, The Border War Still Lives in KC remains in 1st place with an average socre of 420.40, which is 5.2 points better than The Florida Dummies - Legacy and almost 15 better than Stratus-Faction Guaranteed.

We also have put PFCC Week 6 in the books, complete with yet another London crack-of-dawn game and even worse, two Monday night tilts. Our prediction: soon the NFL will play a game every day. Anyhow, all that really matters is than during a week when the average score was 46, Josh Boustead pulled off a 109 with a 12-2 record. He missed his 3 game with Miami and his 2 on Washington. Excellent work! Penny Zabel from Portland, Texas was the Week 6 runner-up with 91 points. Overall, Nick Hampshire has taken over the lead with 373 points, but it is a close race with Jeffrey Overton just 2 points back, last week's leader Deb Bulloch 4 points back and former leader Matthew Brady just 6 points off the lead. Teddy Overton is 8 back in 5th place. While the overall contest is close, the group contest is not as Boomerbacks continue to hold a sizeable 27 point lead over No Mistakes near this Great Lake. Boomerbacks has 4 of the Top 10 overall players in their group and all 8 members are in the Top 60!

And now a couple of announcements as we get ready to head into another weekend of football. The first thing is, and let me know if you have heard this before, there is an early PFCC deadline once again for Week 7 due to another freaking game in London. How much American football can The Brits really endure? The second thing is that we will be pulling the plug on group play changes following the Monday night game(s) for Week 7 PFCC. So, add good players, or email us to dump your dead weight. In The meantime, get those picks in and good luck with this weekend's games!

Week 6 2025 CFCC and Week 5 PFCC Football

By Boda (October 8, 2025

Fail

Jeremy Buckles continues to lead overall CFCC after week 6, and by a rather hefty margin. I'm told Jeremy was spotted before the Vanderbilt-Alabama game practicing his Victory Formation/Kneel Down on the field in full view of all dirty-dawgers. Pretty impressive, Jeremy, but we're all coming for you now Bro. Linda English of Louisville KY made a strong move this week up 13 spots into second place with 94 points and a 12-3 record. For the week, Holden Garret of Gatlinburg TN went a very impressive 14-1 with 118 points. That was good for a 16 point victory over runner-up Jeff Weiler from Wilmington NC. Holden only lost his 1 confidence game when Texas lost to Florida, and that's just about as good as it gets. in Group Play. The Border War Still Lives in Kansas City is now in first after flipping spots with The Florida Dummies Legacy for the second week in a row. The Week 7 Game Form is up and ready. Again, thankfully, Penn State is not on the game form

The Week 5 PFCC results were downright brutal. The average player score was -23.5868 and only 21 players finished with scores greater than zero. Michael Orosco of Colorado Springs CO was the week's winner with a stellar 8-5 record for 41 points - which was still 20 points better than second place Danielle Sanchex (also from Colorado Springs). It's worth noting that Michael was powered by presciently guessing the Patriots would upset the Bills with a 13 confidence - which contrasted with the rest of the field averaging 13 in the Bills. Similarly, Danielle had 15 on the Jags over the Chiefs. The overall standings had a change at the top where Deb Bulloch of Smithville MO jumped Bryan Greenblatt to now lead by 2. Nick Greenawalt of Parma Heights OH also jumped into a tie for second just two points back. In Group Play, Boomerbacks still lead No Mistakes Near This Great Lake.

Week 4 PFCC Wrap

by: Sugar (October 1, 2025)


We are running a little behind here at dirty-dawg.com this week so we are going to skip the commentary and get right to Week 4 action and results. Of course, we are still waiting for The Jets, The Titans, and The Saints to win a game, but that's not really a commentary. More of a statement. And we are sure their fan bases are too! Meanwhile, defending Super Bowl Champion Eagles are looking good along with Buffalo. This and only 13 more weeks before the playoffs!

Okay, let's get on with it. Veteran dawger Ken Drozd from Tucson, AZ was the big winner for PFCC Week 4. Ken had the only triple digit score coming in with a white-hot 104 while the overall player average for Week 4 was a somber 45 points. The low was -50. Sheesh. Ken went 13-2 tripping up on the LA Chargers and the (double-checking the results) NY Jets!. To be fair to Ken, there were 49 other dawgs that had faith in The Jets. Craig Sullivan from Sapulpa, OK was the Week 4 runner-up with 92 points also on 13 wins. Craig dropped 12 on The Chargers and 2 on The Ravens. Benjamin Lott was third with 88 points and 13 wins, followed by Mack Morris in fourth with 88 points on 10 wins. Overall, the New Braunfels, TX boys continue to lead the overall contest after 4 weeks. We are talking about Matthew Brady, who sits at the top with 325 points, followed by Nick Hampshire with 315 points. Bryan Greenblatt was up 9 spots into third with 313 point while Jimmy Orsag remained in fourth and Nick Greenawalt was up 11 into fifth. Two leaders are from the same city and two players in the Top 5 have a last name that contains the world 'Green'. Interesting. Desiree Meadows from Cordova, TN was the big mover in Week 4, up 67 spots into number 101.

Boomerbacks continue to leave the group contest with an average score of 282.25 points with all of their members in the Top 70. No Mistakes by this Great Lake are in 2nd place, 14.85 points behind Boomerbacks with members including one of the green dawgs from the above paragraph, and four other Browns and Guardians lovers, no doubt. Third place underline group play is Nittany Squalls, who are doing much better in the PFCC than the CFCC. Hmmm, I wonder what's up with that??

And that's a quick wrap-up on Week 4 PFCC with Week 5 coming around the corner. Just another head's up that we have an early deadline once again this Sunday for Week 5 with a good old 830 AM CDT deadline. Tell your friends, tell your group colleagues, tell your neighbors to get those picks in now. Don't snooze and lose Sunday morning. Good luck with PFCC Week 5!
