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.

The_Waco_Kid · 10-06-2024, 01:45 PM

now the big question is ... who's the new number 1 team?

it's clearly either Texas or Ohio State.

Texas has already been number 1 but got jumped by no fault of their own by Bama and their win over UGA, a game they nearly lost after leading 28-0. Bama didn't deserve number 1 and now we know why.

Texas also has the best ranked W with their win over Michigan but that win lost some luster after UM fell victim to Upset Saturday.

Ohio State has the benefit of playing this week where Texas did not and they easily survived Upset Saturday.

despite my obvious favoritism of Texas they have the stronger case on strength of schedule to date

Texas should be number 1
Ohio State number 2
