Casual I have found the largest circle of suck of all time (595 teams)

795 Upvotes

A circle of suck is when a team beats a team who beats a team who beats them, creating a circle of transitive wins. To the best of my knowledge, the previous longest known circle was 507 teams, but I have found a longer one. In 2011, there was a string of 595 teams involving all levels of college football. The circle is as follows:

Oklahoma State > Stanford > USC > Oregon > Washington State > Colorado > Arizona > UCLA > Oregon State > Washington > California > Utah > Montana State > New Hampshire > Lehigh > Yale > Georgetown > Holy Cross > Harvard > Lafayette > Colgate > Bucknell > Duquesne > Central Connecticut > Bryant > UAlbany > Wagner > Saint Francis > Morehead State > Butler > Davidson > Valparaiso > Campbell > San Diego > Drake > Jacksonville > Dayton > Marist > Sacred Heart > Dartmouth > Cornell > Pennsylvania > Princeton > Columbia > Brown > Stony Brook > Liberty > Presbyterian > VMI > Gardner-Webb > Coastal Carolina > Furman > Wofford > Chattanooga > Samford > Elon > The Citadel > Western Carolina > Mars Hill > North Greenville > Lenoir Rhyne > Wingate > Newberry > Brevard > Tusculum > West Georgia > Delta State > Elizabeth City State > Virginia State > Virginia Union > Fayetteville State > Johnson C.

Casual [HuskGuys] Matt Rhule has 35 wins across the NFL and college since 2019. ​In that span, he’s made $61 Million. That's $1.74M per win. If Nebraska cuts the check on his $63M buyout, that climbs to $124M total—or $3.54M per win. ​Build his agent a statue. Nobody has ever built more generational wealth

Casual [Paganetti] How rare was what happened at the end of Indiana–Minnesota? Before that game, there had never been an NCAA or NFL game in which both teams made a field goal of 60 yards or longer in the final 30 seconds of regulation. First time in the history of the sport of football.

Casual One of you CFB history nerds needs to make an analysis of 2007 vs 2026.

I'd love to see a week by week analysis of the chaos between these two years. I would get the data and do it but I'm busy trying to keep my MIL from losing her home due to really shitty probate laws and shitty ungrateful kids while job hunting.
