Waco Kid's college football 2025 week 4

[The_Waco_Kid]

Each week upcoming games can be discussed and predictions made, name-calling after victories and general all-around college football discussion! Each week will be closed out by the next Monday and a new thread opened for the current college football schedule for each week.

Rules -

"Rules?? We don't need no stinkin’ rules!”

Actually we do.

WKWCFR rule 1

"Lies, damn lies and statistics!"

British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli

If you quote a stat, record, 3rd down conversion rate, an all-time mark or the number of jock straps an 85-man team needs ...

Post it! If you can't post a link to it, it's bogus!
What's valid in the Internet age? Just about anything! Any of the major sports publications, local newspapers, any of the big networks and official school and NCAA sites just to cover the big ones.

WKWCFR rule 2

Predictions must be posted 1 day in advance! If you haven't read the sports page and figgured out who's going to win by the day before ya never will!

Must be time stamped before Midnight the day before game-day, for any weekly games Thur-Sun on the current weekly schedule.

So there you have it, pretty basic! You can post on general topics of your favorite teams regardless of that week's opponent. Just remember WKWCFR rule 1

the Bambino rule


feel free to post any college match ups of your favorite teams ranked or not. at any level of football. if you post it TWK will make a pick for the game.

[Salty Again]

... And here's Salty! ... Gonna give four (4) Games this week,
since I couldn't decide which one to drop.

... Let's start with this evening - and the Oklahoma showdown!
Tulsa (from over Oklahoma-way) playing Oklahoma State.
One of 'em is the cowboys - like the Dallas cowboys.
And I ain't impressed. ... Tulsa is gettin' 10+ points
and they'll surely put 'em to good use... Go Hurricanes!

... Salty bring it with the BIG games! ... Michigan
over in Nebraska... Do ther even know what football is in Nebraska??
Wolverines even givin' 2+ points... Should still Win.

Hmmm... Me mates from WVU travelin' to Kansas... Do they even
know-of football in Kansas?? ... And Kansas nice enough to give
WVU 12 or 13 points! ... The Mountaineers may not even need them
and could surely Win the game outright.

And how 'bout a late-night game? ... Michigan State travelin'
to Southern California... Michigan State gettin' 18 or 19 points?
Enough to make them enough of a good wager.
Those USC blokes should still win a close game.

##### Salty

[Lantern2814]

Notre Dame will be a desperate team this week. Even winning our might not get the Irish into the playoff given their remaining schedule. Their best hope is for USC to keep winning until their matchup (not a great probability there). And who would have believed that Illinois - Indiana is a big matchup in football instead of basketball? Almost an elimination game.

[Unique_Carpenter]

Syracuse now 3 & 1

Next week is Duke who is favored by 18.
I might take the under.
The Orangemen racked up 66 points against Colgate last week.

Didn't know they did that at university.

... Surely would seem that I gave the wagering lads some GOOD picks
- went 3-1 with WVU again doing me dirty...
And that's with the wager line! ...

... +10 road team Tulsa Won outright, and correctly
called Michigan and Michigan State. ...

... Our host - Waco - also had a few Winning picks of tough games.
He's also Champion at picking "cup cakes" to lose ...

... Let's see what next week brings!
