Dale Parra Leads CFCC Field into Home Stretch

By: Sugar (2026-11-09)

It is hard to believe that we are already 10 weeks into the 2026 CFCC with just 3 regular season weeks left, followed by the College Football Playoff Blowout over the upcoming holidays. Week 10 featured Utah taking out BYU in the Holy War and Notre Dame prevailing in the Catholics versus Convicts redux. LSU marched out some LSU super stars (and Kevin Costner??) before getting blown out at the hands of Alabama. On the dirty-dawg director's call Saturday morning, the boys set me straight: "Kiffin can't beat Alabama, man, it's a mental thing." Fellas, you nailed it. So I fired back with my own nugget of wisdom. "Watch Michigan/Michigan State. Bitter rivalry, and the dog wins that one a lot." Prescient, right? Genius-level stuff. Then I went ahead and hung 14 points on the wrong side.

Another meat grinder of a week. Average player score: 19.3. Remind me again, this is supposed to be fun? One dawg posted a minus-50. Not a typo. Negative fifty. When the smoke cleared — and for once it cleared before midnight Sunday — Tyler Castillo of Pelham, AL and Nathan Patrick out of Rocklin, California were deadlocked at 62 points. Tiebreaker went to Tyler on wins, 11 to 10, and Week 10 is his. Tyler also picks up a Top Dawg nod for riding Oregon for 5. Nathan had the same Oregon call and earns his own Top Dawg mention, but then went and fell for the LSU shine like half the field did. You know who you are. Mike West from Grain Valley, MO takes third for Week 10.

Four weeks left, and the guy out front is Dale Parra of Clackamas, OR. German Shepherd status, multi-star sport player, and he's been parked in first place in 4 of the last 5 weeks. Week 8 he slipped all the way to 5th overall. The horror. Dale's been Top 10 every single week but one. That one was Week 2, when he finished 197th. We won't bring it up again. Probably. The lead is 28 points over fellow dirty-dawg veteran Greg Story, and 34 over another old hand: the 2004 CFCC Champion, full dirty-dawg status, Brent Ryder of Gresham, OR. So what exactly is in the water in Oregon? Hint for Dale and Greg: Brent has done this before, Brent knows the drill, and Brent is 34 points back with four weeks to play. Keep one eye over your shoulder.

Speaking of old hands, let's talk Group Play. Florida Dummies Legacy sits in first after dropping a Week 10 group-best 32.57. Multi-season winners, and anybody who's tried to pry them off that top line before knows how that usually ends. Hillers Thrillers slid to 2nd, but don't start the eulogy — they're only 2.47 back. BoomerBacks, another outfit that knows its way around a leaderboard, is 3rd at 7.89 out. High Plains Drifters, the original OG dirty-dawg group, holds 4th, with The OraCLEs in 5th after 10 weeks. 

Think all the action is over in the classic CFCC? Not even close. 67 dawgs have been brave enough to take on CFCC-ATS this year. A few of them are playing like they can hand in a resignation letter Monday morning. A few others should quit while they're behind. Trevor Boucher took Week 10 with 64 points on 11 wins. Mike Seaman was right behind at 62. Alex Erwin, out of Lubbock, TX, also put up 62, but did it on 9 wins to Mike's 10. Here's the thing about Alex, though. He's sitting in first place overall at 84-63-3 for 246 points. That's a .570 clip against the number. That's not a hot streak, that's Las Vegas whale territory, and somebody in a Nevada back office is probably already looking at his betting slips. Brian Heath is breathing on his neck at 245. Trinna Patterson holds third with 223. 

Week 11 is up and it's a good one. Couple of G6 games on the board that could decide who gets the group's seat at the last 12-team CFP we'll ever see. Enjoy it while it lasts, because next year the thing balloons to 24. Now mark this down: Week 13 has an early Thanksgiving Day deadline. Every year we send the emails, the texts, the carrier pigeons and the smoke signals, and every year a handful of dirty-dawgers still wake up from the turkey coma with a goose egg. Don't be that dawg. Thanks for playing dirty-dawg.com. Good luck with Week 11.
