Standings Solidifying After CFCC/PFCC Week 4/3

by: Sugar (September 24, 2025)

A quarter of CFCC 2025 regular season is over, which is hard to believe, but the standings are starting to solidify some, as they tend to do about this time in the contest. It was another entertaining Saturday for college football that yielded a couple of surprises for dirty-dawgers. Oklahoma continued to look good and beat a good Auburn team during a competitive contest. Unfortunately, QB John Mateer broke his hand during the game and will be out at least a month. Indiana absolutely put the hammer down on Illinois suggesting that last season was not a fluke for the Hoosiers. While the beatdown was surprising to most, dirty-dawg consensus was on Indiana. However, the dirty-dawg consensus was not on Texas Tech, despite the Red Raiders marching into SLC and dominating the game, which was close through three quarters, before Tech closed the door in the 4th frame. And the Raiders did it with their, I almost can't believe I'm typing this, defense. Tech has dudes up front and invested heavily in both lines. An interesting stat through 4 weeks is that the Top 7 ranked teams in the off-season transfer portal are 27-0. Time will tell if these teams continue to play well of course.

Speaking of playing well, on the overall CFCC leaderboard, we see Mr. Jeremy Buckles continuing to hold the top spot with 290 points on a stellar record of 46-14. He continues to hold a large lead of 36 points over Paducah, Kentucky's Derrick Snyder, who also remained in 2nd place After 4 weeks. Despite the status quo at the top of the board, we did see some big movers into the Top 10 during Week 4. Brett Williams from Lees Summit, MO was up 21 spots to number 5. Marshall Willinholly (cool name) from KC was up 54 into 7th place and Todd Hamill from Tyrone, GA leaped 94 spots to number 8 overall. Nice job dawgs! You all (ya'll) might want to keep an eye out for 2022 CFCC Champion Tom Fannin who was up 11 and into number 10! For Week 4 specifically, the average score was another underwhelming 56 points, but as always several players were much better than that. Raymond Jojola from Isleta Pueblo, NM was the Week 4 champion with 100 points and 13 wins. Raymond lost, like everyone else, on Utah and Arkansas. Runner-up was Joe Kunches from Niwot, CO. Joe also had 100 points but he missed 4 games, despite a stellar call with 11 on Texas Tech. The Border War Still Lives in KC is back on top in Group Play, followed by The Know Nothings and The Florida Dummies - Legacy. Special note on The Florida Dummies - Legacy is that we would like to send our condolences their way for the loss of the family patriarch and 20+-season dirty-dawger during the off-season. According to their group description, Bill Moseley loved college football, the Crimson Tide, and dirty-dawg.com! We will miss Bill playing and will be keeping an eye out for a motivated and always tough Florida Dummies team the rest of the way!

Over on the PFCC side, things are also heating up and the world is starting to get a grip on the haves and have-nots in the NFL. Of course it is early and we all know how much things can change during long seasons. Just ask Detroit Tiger fans about their 13.5 game lead at the All-Star break. The biggest surprises of the week were likely Cleveland taking down the Packers as a across-the-board 13 consensus while Detroit went into Baltimore and hung an L on Lamar Jackson and The Ravens on MNF, with Baltimore carrying a 7 all-member consensus. I personally know many disappointed (although not surprised) Cowboy fans and at least one disappointed Broncos fan so far. Again, at least some of these teams will flip by the end of the season.

There is something in the water in New Braunfels, TX, which is the home of both the PFCC leader Matthew Brady as well as 2nd place Nick Hampshire. Matthew has 253 points on a 36-8 record while Nick was up 39 spots sitting at 245 points and 35 victories. Alaina Macfarlane is in 3rd place with 237 points and was up 7 positions.

Bryan Greenblatt from Vestal, NY took home the Week 3 PFCC honors with 96 points on 12 wins. Bryan only tripped up on the already mentioned Packer and Raven bed wetting and also dropped his 1 confidence on Atlanta. Nick Webb was the Week 3 runner-up with 90 points, also on 12 wins. Nick is from Hurricane, WV, which is a real place because we checked. We thought maybe he was just being funny or paying homage to all of the meteorologists in this contest. Nick actually picked the Browns, but also picked New England, Dallas and Baltimore. And a special shout-out to Olin Mann of Linden, Michigan for taking third place in Week 3 and easily surpassing his 'Old Mann', who has been playing many more years than him! Boomerbacks continues at the top of the Group Play standings, with Nittany Squalls hot on their tales.

And here is another reminder that the NFL scheduling gods have decided to screw dirty-dawgers early this season and schedule a game across the pond for this upcoming weekend. So, you are all facing an early 830 AM CDT deadline on Sunday, so don't screw the pooch!! The CFCC Week 5 deadline remains the usual 11 AM CDT on Saturday. Good luck this week.
