Waco Kid's College Football Week 1

[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

Preseason polls are worthless. UT at 15? That is a hoot. TCU at 20, a laugh.

All polls are pretty worthless this year on the way to another Bama beatdown. Schedule sets up way too favorable. Roll Tide.

[MooneyFlyer]

The first 2 or 3 weeks of college footbally are actually WORSE than NFL Pre-season games . . .

Call me around mid Octobe . . .

Clemson-Georgia gonna be one heck of a game, scoreboard might explode. The Battle of the Carolinas would be entertaining even if it weren't the first game back. But, yeah, a lot of chaff to pick the wheat out of.

in this case, you are right taintboy. by late October UT will be a TOP 5 team.

Best opening day game on the schedule. leaning toward Clemson only because it's at Clemson and UGA usually doesn't look strong early in the year.

[Storm3772]

btw college football players don't wear cups so no need for how many jockstraps per team lol

ut should in the top 5 of every sport that is played, that being said, I live in fear you will add wrestling and come hire our coach for 1 million a year. The joke up here is that ut cannot wait til Friday when they just will print more money but that just makes you lazy and someday mack brown will recruit using something other than rivals top five players

how many Texas qb's are there playing around the nation?

UT does produce excellent future NFL clipboard holders.

See! Higher Edumacaton does pay off! these fine lads have mastered their RRR's so they are totally qualified to stand proud and mark boxes on a stat sheet!

which is more than i can say of ZerOU QB's.

Interesting match up. Norm Chow of BYU/USC Petey days can't make the Warriors tick again while Kiffy, also of the Petey/USC days, can't pick a QB. JUST DON'T LOSE, Kiffy.

Winner: ND
Unless ND falters on offense this year with their backup Rees at QB, ND will have a solid year. looking at ND's schedule it is easily one of the toughest in the nation. 9-3 would be a great year when you play Michigan, Michigan St, ZerOU, USC, Stanford.

Saban opens as usual with a top inter-league game. Va Tech has been trending down after years of good ball under Beamer but unless Hokies play lights-out Bama wins.
