Waco Kid's college football 2025 week 1

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.

and did i mention it's a semi-final rematch from last season's playoffs?

... Hey mate - it's your thread - but can we live without
yer snide insults and slights to some o' the sides??

Hard to even understand sometimes to see just who you fancy.

... darwin v. danfork and you say the "d's" will win...

Lemme have a go at a couple:

... I'll pick three (3) games! ... "Can't Lose!"

... Northern Arizona/ Arizona St. ---
(The team from Arizona will win)

... Miami/Noter Dame ---
(the team with the most points will prevail)

... LSU/ Clemson ---
(rather bleedin' obvious that the Tigers will win)

... Expect yer mate Salty to go 3-0 this week...

"Can't Lose!" ...

Cuz, if they run the table from there (or win their conference) ... they're still gunna be in the national playoff picture!
