Waco Kid's Collge football week 7

[The_Waco_Kid]

What is Waco Kid's Weekly College Football Review? It is an ongoing weekly review of all things College Football!!

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

someone posted this in an article about USC and Interim coach Orgeron, from his Ole Miss days.

[JCM800]

Florida (+7) .........LSU wins but Florida covers.

This should be an interesting game, probably coming down to a field goal.

[gulflover]

Damn dude, you had a nice week. Except the Georgia pick.

could have done better on picking some upsets. I though Penn St had a chance against Michigan, and i gave Northwestern too much cred for playing Ohio State tough last week.
Texas looks much better on defense now that Robinson has had some time with the unit, but i didn't see a beatdown like that coming. an upset possibly yes but kick their ass from the opening snap? wishful thinking till i saw it happening.

Winner: VA Tech
Remember that 35-10 loss to Bama? all Tech has done since is WIN. is BeamerBall back?

Pittsburgh 9 - 19 (24) Virginia Tech

Beamer built Va Tech into a player, but like Texas and Brown, they've trended downward lately. Nice to see Beamer and the Hokies trending up again!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12:00 PM EDT Iowa St. @ (20) Texas Tech

Winner: Texas Tech
Kingsbury was a kick-ass hire for the Raiders.

Iowa St. 35 - 42 (20) Texas Tech

it's early but the First Mate shows promise much like his former CO, the Pirate. at least Tech has their offensive identity back.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12:00 PM EDT ESPN (25) Missouri @ (7) Georgia

Winner: GA
all in .. again with UGA.

(25) Missouri 41 - 26 (7) Georgia

No excuses UGA, everyone's banged up this time of year. You got outplayed at HOME. OUCH.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12:00 PM EDT ABC (12) Oklahoma @ Texas

Winner: ZerOU
let's face it ZerOU looks more like they should than we do.

(12) Oklahoma 20 - 36 Texas

Well .. someone does look like the Golden days. TEXAS! i knew an upset could happen, i didn't think a beatdown would until i saw it happening. AHAHA.

does this defense look much better after some time under Robinson? YEP. i think Mack hedged a bet on this season having Robinson already on staff.
Diaz had 4 years counting Ole Miss to show he could handle in-game adjustments. Still Deer-In-Headlights.
Let's cut Diaz some slack, that IS the hardest part of coaching after all.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12:21 PM EDT SECN, ESGP (14) South Carolina @ Arkansas

Winner: Arkansas
roll of the dice on the hoggheads. and SC hasn't looked sharp on offense.

(14) South Carolina 52 - 7 Arkansas

Well as usual this is what i get for going against the Ball Coach. He's still Steve Superior and you're not.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:30 PM EDT ABC Boston Coll. @ (3) Clemson

Winner: Clemson
Clemson might need some help from the crowd and that Rock too. Expect a struggle.



Boston Coll. 14 - 24 (3) Clemson

This struggle is PERFECT for Dabo. they grit one out and set up the biggie w FSU with the one thing tommyboy couldn't get .. a win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:30 PM EDT ABC (19) Northwestern @ Wisconsin

Winner: Northwestern
NW played well overall against the Pope they need a bounce back W here and they'll earn it at Camp Randall.

19) Northwestern 6 - 35 Wisconsin

Ah well. whiffed one here, gave too much cred for a "moral loss" to Pope Urbie. Wisconsin except for that gaff at AZ St has played strong under new coach Andersen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:30 PM EDT CBS (17) Florida @ (10) LSU

Winner: LSU
Going all in with Crazy Lester.

(17) Florida 6 - 17 (10) LSU

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3:30 PM EDT FOX (15) Baylor @ Kansas St.

Winner: Baylor
Baylor might give a few NFL defenses some fits. K State is NOT in the NFL.

(15) Baylor 35 - 25 Kansas St.

this turned out better for Baylor, for once they get game at least. there will be more to come and their D will factor in. It always does.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4:00 PM EDT (2) Oregon @ (16) Washington

Winner: Oregon
Ducks have more talent and WMD's than Sark. But beware Phil, your Ducks might sink too.

(2) Oregon 45 - 24 (16) Washington

Not to knock the Sark and his upward trending Huskies but this tells UW they still have work to do.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5:00 PM EDT ESPN (18) Michigan @ Penn St.

Winner: Michigan
my inner fan says "Win one for JoePa" but my money would bet Michigan.

(18) Michigan 40 - 43 Penn St.

Yep. shoulda gone with my inner fan. Nicely done Nittany Lions!
WE ARE PENN STATE! .. "Win one for JoePa"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:00 PM EDT Akron @ (23) Northern Illinois

6:00 PM EDT PACN (5) Stanford @ Utah

Winner: Utah
Utes played UCLA to the wire and the Cardinal gets chopped down.

7:00 PM EDT (1) Alabama @ Kentucky

Winner: Alabama
last time UK beat Bama they pulled down the goal posts. if they do that this time they outta bronze them.

Alabama keeps rolling. if they run the table or win the SEC even with 1 loss, they are likely in for a try at 3 straight.

8:30 PM EDT ESPN (9) Texas A&M @ Mississippi

Winner: Texas A&M
JohnnyFootball. all in.

(9) Texas A&M 41 - 38 Mississippi
