    This week in the Group of Five: Bowlmas Edition

    Bowl season is magical. The winter holidays can be stressful at times, but Bowlmas is the greatest event in modern times. It should be a national holiday. A week long celebration of amazing athletes and dramatic games…and maybe some less dramatic games, but we love ‘em all. There are not too many bowls, there’s just […]

Houston lost to Memphis. Boise lost to Air Force by lack of one yard. Navy hung 75 freaking points on SMU. Idaho […]

    This week in the Group of Five – 11/23/16

    Last weekend was pretty stable, as far as the top teams go. Louisville lost to Houston, and is probably now out of playoff contention, but the top 4 stayed the same. It’s more interesting as we go down the rankings though. Utah had a free fall like nobody quite believes they are P5 yet. WVU […]

    While I was on my death bed last week with the traditional fall cold, I was unable to give you my hot takes on the Seahawks/Cardinals tie that happened on Sunday Night Football. Luckily for all of us, there was ANOTHER tie in the NFL this past week. The damn Redskins tied with the Bengals. […]

    Another weekend of college football, another satisfying meal for the Chaos gods. Sure, the top of the rankings mostly did what they were supposed to do and win. Five more undefeated teams went down this weekend, and we’re here with 11 perfect teams left, fighting it out. The only new entrant to the top five […]
