Slingin' (Dutch) O'Brien's 1996 Predictions

In the bidness of prognosticatin' the outcome of football games sometimes you is cold, sometimes you is hot, and sometimes you is on FIRE,which is what I am. Who gave ya BYU over the Aggies, TCU over OU, and SMU over Arkansas. None other than Slingin'(Dutch) O'Brien. The legend is growin. After three weeks I am perfect on the season (12-0), after another unblemished week (7-0). I'm considerin' forcastin' the weather and the stock market if things keep goin' like this. I picked 7 SWC games last week.

They were: TCU 24, Oklahoma 21(final was TCU 20, OU 7. I reckon that has answered a few questions about the pre season favorites in the SWC. They's awesome)
SMU 22, Arkansas 21(final was SMU 23, Arkansas 10, The Swine has clinched the SWC cellar for the second straight year)
Texas Tech 35, Okie A&M 9 (final was Tech 31, Okie Aggies 3)
Ohio State 62, Rice 0 ( final was OSU 70, Chinamen 7, I slipped up there I thought it would be a 62 point victory, not 63)
Texas 62, New Mexico A&M 0 (Final was Ut 41, NMAM 7, The Sips took it easy on em. They is pure class.
Baylor 27, La. Tech 3 (final was BU 24, Tech 16, Can you say UNDERACHIEVE ?
LSU 45, Houston 5 (final was Tigers 35,Losers 34. I almost perspired over that one.
Two other games was played, but I couldn't make a pick on account of they was just too close to call.
Phillips 66 , U of Chicago 3
Southwestern 45, Minnesota 43 (Jim Wacker's offense was a thang of beauty, his defense a piece of crap.

Anyway, Goin' into week four here are the Standin's of the SWC.

The SWC, The Nations first true Super Conference. Thirteen Teams, Three States,One Time Zone, Four God Fearin' Christian Schools ( and the rest don't gamble and attend church regular except for those in Arkansas and Oklahoma)

One Correction (9/9):
Four God Fearin' Christian Schools ( and the rest don't gamble and attend church regular except for those in Arkansas and Oklahoma)
Actually they's 5 Christian Schools
Phillips and TCU (Christian Church)
Baylor (Baptist)
SMU and Southwestern (Methodist)
