Week 13, 2010 Results

Posted on November 29, 2010 by gamedaycole

The scores are in and I’ve graded everyone’s picks below. Boise State losing shook up everyone. Desmond Howard is back to his usual, putting up a 6-8 week and going from top of the Gameday big three to the bottom (Lee Corso is back on top with Herby in the middle). Trevor Matich called Bama over Auburn on the radio last week, but this week on TV he called Auburn over Bama. We’re counting his TV pick because TV overrules radio, and it was a more recent pick. We’re welcoming Tom Luginbill to the rankings but he will be relegated to the misc. page until I get more in from him. He is a former journeyman college QB, pro QB outside the NFL, and coach in about sixteen different leagues along with being a current ESPNU analyst.

Pages are being updated currently.

Slow week

Posted on November 24, 2010 by gamedaycole

Its been a slow week. Not alot of chatter out there as far as people picking winners and losers which is strange because I figure every talking head on the Worldwide Leader would be touting their predictions about the Iron Bowl. I probably won’t have many updates this week until Sunday because my work schedule is ramping up with the holidays. I’ll still have the Saturday picks so don’t worry, just hang in there.

Week 12, 2010 Updated

Posted on November 21, 2010 by gamedaycole

Well it was an average schedule this week but turned out to have alot of really competitive games and lots of near upsets. I was able to track a good amount of picks this week, but with one regret. I’ve found Trevor Matich doesn’t pick alot of games on College Football Live, but he does picks every Saturday on College Gameday radio. This week I tuned in for a while, went to the bathroom, came back to the radio and heard “… and those are the picks for today! We’ll be back after this!” What a bummer because I really need to beef up his sample size.

It was a pretty good weekend for all our experts because mostly all the favorites won. I’ve graded the picks below. In a real shakeup, after all the updated archival picks and this week, Desmond Howard has overtaken BOTH Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit as the official College Gameday leader.

In other exciting news, we’ve had more hits on the site this month than ever before, and today is our all time high for a day! Don’t ask how many, just pretend its big.
