Waco Kid's college football 2025 week 3

[Salty Again]

... G'day followers of Waco's football advice.

... Salty here - to have a go at week 3 and some picks.

Crikey! ... IS Alabama really 20 points better than
a decent Wisconsin?? ... Yes, I know-of the fact
Alabama is the home side. ... But 20-some points better??

And if THAT aint odd enough, Purdue - playin' in their-own
stadium is somehow 20 points WORSE than USC??

... But, let's surely leave those contests for the
so-called experts to prognosticate.

... While we focus on me-own three choices:

... Clemson tigers playing in Georgia (find me ballots!)
against Georgia Technical school. ... Clemson 3 point
favourites and should win by MORE than that!

... And the other Georgia team - Georgia - is playin'
their match over in Tennessee. ... Same thing there,
3 point favourites - and Georgia bulldogs should
be maybe a touchdown better.

... Lastly - would surely be remiss of me to NOT
comment on the "Backyard Brawlers" - WVU and Pitt.
... WVU playing at home and getting 7 points as
the spread - should be able to either topple
the panthers or at least stay within a score.

Yes, I'm aware that WVU let me down last week
- but I expect them to bounce back this time
for rivalry sake!

... There's three - from Salty!

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.

[Salty Again]

... Monitours, please combine this thread with Waco's
college football WEEK 3 forum. .... Thanks!

#### Salty

[Salty Again]

... Crikey! ... YES, Alabama should be big favourites over Wisconsin.
Lesson learned... But Purdue made the spread - good for them.

But two of me picks shit the bed - Clemson lost at the end, and
Georgia onley won by 3... Even that the Georgia result is a draw
our mate Bambino would laugh and call it a loss. ...

But on the good side - WVU won the "backyard brawlers" as I predicted.

... So another lack-lustre one win - two loss week.
Will surely rebound next week! ...
