Waco Kid's college football week 9

The_Waco_Kid's Avatar
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

Thursday, October 29


7:00 PM EDT ESPN
N. Carolina @ (23) Pittsburgh TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: UNC

UNC and Pitt are on a roll. both are 6-1. someone has to lose.

N. Carolina 26 - 19 (23) Pittsburgh Final

and UNC takes it. Pitt was at home so they take it on the chin in front of the homies. OUCH

West Virginia @ (5) TCU TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: TCU

Go Frogs!!

Syracuse @ (17) Florida St. TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: FSU

Jimbo took one on the chin last week. he CANNOT afford to drop one at home against Syralose.

Syracuse 21 - 45 (17) Florida St. Final

Jimbo had to use his backup QB and rolls. Holding out Golston is right for the kid .. and the biggie coming up with Clemson.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12:00 PM EDT ESPN
(19) Mississippi @ Auburn TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: Ole Miss

Ole Miss must beat Aubie to stay in the SEC race. Aubie on the other hand has not looked impressive even while winning.

(19) Mississippi 27 - 19 Auburn Final

Ole Miss stays in the game. Aubie wonders what happened to their season.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:00 PM EDT PACN
Colorado @ (24) UCLA TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: UCLA

Bruins have stumbled but CO is bad and this is at UCLA's house. WIN.

Colorado 31 - 35 (24) UCLA Final

UCLA lets CO hang way too close in this one but they win. they can still be a factor in the PAC 12

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:30 PM EDT ABC, ESP2
(3) Clemson @ N.C. State TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: Clemson

Going ALL IN with Dabo.

(3) Clemson 56 - 41 N.C. State Final

Clemson's defense had a rare bad game giving up 41. but they win the track meet and set up the biggie with FSU.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:30 PM EDT ABC, ESP2
Maryland @ (10) Iowa TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: Iowa

Iowa is overrated. they will lose. but not to the Twerps.

Maryland 15 - 31 (10) Iowa Final

Iowa will lose. no way they go unbeaten for the year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:30 PM EDT FS1
(14) Oklahoma @ Kansas TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: ZerOU

Bozo MUST WIN. did i mention Bozo MUST WIN?

(14) Oklahoma 62 - 7 Kansas Final

this is par for Bozo's course. KU is hapless. but it's exactly what ZerOU needed here. not even close, an easy win.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:30 PM EDT ESPN
(12) Oklahoma St. @ Texas Tech TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: Cowpokes

Beware Cowpokes, this has TRAP GAME UPSET written all over it.

(12) Oklahoma St. 70 - 53 Texas Tech Final

Well done Pokes. you let Tech get out big and reeled them back in on the road. you avoid the trap.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


3:30 PM EDT CBS
Georgia @ (11) Florida TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: UF

if UF wants to return to the elite, they need to make the Swamp the Swamp .. again.

Georgia 3 - 27 (11) Florida Final

UF gets it done. losing their QB to a dumb PED suspension didn't cost them today but it probably will later this year.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:00 PM EDT ESPU
Miami (FL) @ (22) Duke TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: Miami

just gonna roll the dice UM upsets Duke post GoldenBoy.

Miami (FL) 30 - 27 (22) Duke Final

AHAHA. wild finish! this picked looked great until 6 seconds to go, then it looks like shit. then it looks great again. lol.



Sorry Duke, don't blame the Zebras you should never have allowed that runback
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7:00 PM EDT ESPN
(15) Michigan @ Minnesota TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: UMich

going ALL IN with the Harbaugh effect. just beware Jimmy, Gophers might come out jacked at home after Kill's retirement.

(15) Michigan 29 - 26 Minnesota Final

Another wild ending. at first blush i don't agree with Gophers call to go for the win but on second thought given the situation it was probably the right call.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:00 PM EDT PACN
Oregon St. @ (13) Utah TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: Utes

Dorothy once said " There's no place like home." and after that whacking at USC you Utes better hope so!

a good solid rebound for the Utes. like UCLA they stay in the PAC 12 race.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7:00 PM EDT ESP2
Vanderbilt @ (18) Houston TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: Houston

if Herman Munster is all that on offense, he should take out low scoring Vandy

Vanderbilt 0 - 34 (18) Houston Final

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7:00 PM EDT CBSS
Tulane @ (16) Memphis TixYahoo Calendar

WINNER: Memphis

Memphis must win to keep their street cred going. and it's at home. WIN.

WINNER: ND

Temple is undefeated but they have not played a team like ND who must keep their playoff hopes alive.

a good game. Temple gave ND all they wanted and then some.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10:30 PM EDT ESPN

WINNER: Stanford

going with the conventional wisdom here but beware the upset here. the Pirate has WSU scoring again and you know what that means.

(8) Stanford 30 - 28 Washington St. Final
