Waco Kid's college football week 11

[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

if they win out and defeat Iowa (probably) for the Big 10 championship, they are in the playoffs and likely no lower than a 2 seed, assuming Clemson also wins out.
They could flip places also with the Buckeyes the top seed.

worst case, they lose to both Sparty and UM and drop out. i'd be pretty surprised if that happens.

Sparty is the more dangerous game, they already beat UM, so the Buckeyes need to play well at home against Sparty.

lol. you go girl. keep up that fandom. OSU ran the table last year .. can they do it again?
Maybe.

if Pope Urbie wins it all again, not only will he now have 4 NC's .. at two different schools (only he and Saban can make that claim) but he will also be the first Coach in the non-poll era to repeat as NC. no one has yet to do that.
