    This week in the Group of Five – 11/15/16

    Welp, the chaos gods got bored after all the excitement early last week, and decided to play in the Top 25 as a bit of a nightcap. Michigan, Clemson, and Washington all lost last weekend, and allowed Ohio State to climb back in the top four of the CFP committee’s rankings. The AP and the […]

    This Week in the Group of Five – 11/9/16

    Writing pithy comments about football games that already happened, with everything else going on in the world today just doesn’t seem right, so let’s get to it with an eye to the future instead of the past. Group of Five Rankings 5. San Diego State Aztecs Sorry, Tulsa, but SDSU is getting stronger and is […]

    5 Questions with Barry Grandgenett: Hawkeye Football Edition

    This is what I hope to be the first of many installments of “5 Questions with Barry Grandgenett,” and I wanted to start out with something a bit less controversial than Big 12 Refs or the current political scene – how about Hawkeye football?! Sounds fun, right? There’s no other way to put it, the […]

    Drunk Dialing 1.12: I vape because I’m sad and I’m Sad because I vape

    Jared and Tami join Ted to discuss current events in sports from around the country. Ted goes on a rant about how terrible the SEC narrative is.  Stick around for the end where Ted deals with maybe the worst case of drunk hiccups in podcast history. As the calls come in, the hosts talk to […]

    This week in the Group of Five – 11/2/16

    We’re more than halfway through the insanity. Its coming to the serious part of the college football season – the first round of College Football Playoff Committee rankings came out this week, it’s the thick of conference play, and we’re at the point in the season when the great teams separate themselves from the rest. […]

  • Farmageddon: The quietest rivalry

    Farmageddon: The quietest rivalry

    Rivalries in college football are unique—some have trophies, many have interesting origin stories, and most feature two fan bases that hate each other. In an age of bowl slates with 80 teams and the “BCS Bowls” essentially being reduced to a 4-team playoff, the postseason is becoming less lucrative to many teams and rivalry games are becoming […]

    Farmageddon is ours

    It is that time of year again, its Farmageddon week. What started out as a joke on a K-State message board, has turned into the well known nickname for the Kansas State-Iowa State football game. Weirdly I think the name has added some spice to this game. Before 2010, as a K-State fan, I never […]

    There are nine undefeated teams left in the country after week 8. Not bad. Bama torched Texas A&M, Michigan is over there, sneaking to #2 in the country after Ohio State went down to Penn State. Clemson and Washington are right there on their heels at #3 and #4. Nebraska is #7, after looking shaky […]

    This week in the Group of 5 – 10/19/16

    Last weekend, The Chaos Gods laid in waiting. College football proceeded as if all was normal – with the teams winning and losing who were supposed to for the most part. Clemson had their yearly Clemsoning vs. NC State, but were good enough to be able to win in the end. Of course, there were […]

    This Week in the Group of 5 – 10/11/16

    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 […]
