Waco Kid's college football 2020 week 4

[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

well the bulk of the SEC opens cold. could be interesting. league only play puts pressure on all the "current" top 25 .. by that teams that are playing. the BIG 10 decided not to sit the fall season out and will be in the mix in Oct. WTF will the PAC 12 do? they should decide to play and NOW.

or they can jack each other off in the spring and crown a champ with no bowl or playoffs to go to. Brilliant!

#10 - TAMU by 30.5 points - even in Kyle field ???
go with Vanderbilt - too much untested talent for the Aggies and Jimbo Fisher.

Aggies probably win - but never, ever look at an Aggie win as a sure thing!

i pick games straight up no point spread. that's for the suckers betting the Las Vegas book and it's sole purpose is keep the house from losing big on an upset pick


straight up to win you take Jimbo and A&M

BAHHHAAAAAA

this didn't take long. now the PAC 12 has buyer's remorse


Pac-12 football is back -- Better late than never

https://sports.yahoo.com/pac-12-foot...171718552.html


If the schools in the Pac-12 can keep their players safe from COVID-19, I’d say the conference’s decision this week to run a reverse and open the fields for football is a good one.

Certainly a late one, though.

Not only was our friendly, neighborhood conference the last of the Power-5s to decide to reinstate the sport, it will be the last to begin play, in what is planned as a seven-game season.

I suppose it takes that long to get a team ready for big-time college football, but the conference won’t play its first games until the weekend of Nov, 6-7. That could make it difficult for the Pac-12 to win a berth in the College Football Playoff, because the other power-5 conferences will have played more games.



better late than never PAC 12

TWK - given an Aggie home game - and 'Vanderbilt' - who plays much better baseball than football, I would go with the Aggies for a win.

I would not give the Aggies more than a 'One point" edge.

if the Aggies beat the spread - I will go plant maroon marigolds in austin at the tu campus and state capitol.




30 points plus - I don't bet - but that one is tempting to go with Vanderbilt.

'agg-tards' - come on TWK - let's not go there like that.

That is a 'Liberal ' insult.




17-12 - barely - Vandy had the chance for an upset.

Aggie D-Line is ferocious
Offense was fumble prone and forgettable.

maybe not even a top 25 team - Alabama next week will take advantage of eh disarray on the team.

Saban is licking his chops at a Likely 50 point margin

IMHO
Not to mention - Mike leach at Miss. State just unleashed one hell of an offense - knocking off LSU at Home.

TAMU could well be last place in the SEC for 2020!

[dilbert firestorm]

PAC12 just should stay home. lol.

well. SEC opens with a big loss with LSU and ZerOU chokes. all my home team picks were dogshit tacos. wonder what will happen next week?
