They hawkeys remained in the Sickos top 25 last season. I guess they knew something nobody else did.
background about Sickos:
"Sickos college football" refers to a subculture of college football fans who find joy in the weird, absurd, and often "bad" aspects of the sport. Unlike mainstream fans who focus on top-ranked teams, playoff races, and high-scoring games, "Sickos" appreciate the opposite.

background about Sickos:
"Sickos college football" refers to a subculture of college football fans who find joy in the weird, absurd, and often "bad" aspects of the sport. Unlike mainstream fans who focus on top-ranked teams, playoff races, and high-scoring games, "Sickos" appreciate the opposite.
Here's what defines a "Sicko" and their love for college football:
- Love for the "ugly" game: They cheer for games filled with turnovers, missed field goals, punts, and other chaotic, low-scoring moments that would frustrate most fans.
- Appreciation for obscure matchups: They will happily stay up late to watch a midweek game between two mediocre teams from a lesser-known conference, like the MAC or a late-night Pac-12 game.
- Finding humor in the mundane: They find humor in corporate-sponsored bowl games with funny names, strange play calls, and quirky team traditions.
- The "Sickos Committee": This subculture is largely centered around a popular social media account, the "Sickos Committee," which highlights these bizarre and entertaining moments with a comedic twist. They even create their own polls and rankings, often with Iowa football—known for its stout defense and low-scoring offense—as a perennial "champion."
- It's about the pure love of the game: For "Sickos," their fandom is not about rooting for a specific team to win a championship. It's about celebrating the unique and unpredictable nature of college football itself, finding delight in its imperfections and enjoying the moments that others might ignore.
