Waco Kid's college football 2025 week 5

[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

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.

[dilbert firestorm]

cupcake betting? eh

[Salty Again]

... Hmmmm... Some o' Waco's pick may surely be on the lark
this week... I'll give a Friday night one NOW - as I also like
Florida State to win against Virginia... And cover the points wager.

... Me other picks will come Friday evening...

#### Salty

[Lantern2814]

The slate of games this week certainly looks better than last week's. Looks like we're getting to that time where playoff implications start getting talked about. Is Penn State FINALLY going to play up to the expectations? The SEC may start getting sorted out this weekend. Florida State should get the W here, but the Seminoles best not be looking at that Miami game next week.

[Salty Again]

... Ok there, sporting mates! ... Salty here with 3 more beauts.:

... Syracuse - on their-own pitch against Duke... And somehow
Duke is favoured by 4+ points here... Take the Orange side!

... Interesting that every bleedin' bloke and his dingo
surely believe Indiana is good this season-meet.
Visitin' Iowa and giving Iowa 8+ points. ... Since I like
the fact that Iowa wears Steelers kits and what-not, take them
to win at home with the points.

... And Salty brings the Good Games! ...
Got Georgia v. Alabama and Penn State havin' a go against Oregon.
Gonna leave those results for the "expert" prognosticatours.

And look at LSU travelin' to play Missip... Misssip... Mississippi.
Can barely pronounce them... Might even get a point or two IF ya
select LSU... Who should win this one!

... So, that's three more from me... Good Luck! ...

#### Salty

[Salty Again]

... Ye Christ! ... Just one win from the 4 games this week. ..

... Reckon there's a reason some teams are favoured.

... There's always next week.
