Week 5 of the pod and things just keep getting more INSANE in this football season. Another great weekend highlighted by major wins for two programs from the GREAT NORTH of New England.

Bates with an absolute thriller under the lights in Medford, continuing to prove the doubters (me among them) wrong. Top dogs in the league being Trinity, Amherst, and Wesleyan continued to find success as well.

Meanwhile in the Ivy League, Hollywood came to Hanover as the Dartmouth Big Green pull of a storybook game so nuts that A24 probably wouldn't make a movie about it. Similar to the CAC, upper echelon programs like Harvard and Penn continued to flex their muscles. Also, don't sleep on those Brown Bears having officially claimed the crown as State Champs of Rhode Island.

So happy to be back with you guys, another AWESOME weekend of New England Football. Strap in, throw in the air pods, mute your MS Teams Meeting...it's time for another edition of the Wicked Smart Football Podcast!
