Week 10: Results (Bama vs. LSU edition)

Posted on November 6, 2011 by gamedaycole

Here’s the results from Week 10 of 2011. Its lengthier than usual because EVERYONE wanted their pick on the record this week for Bama/LSU, and most of them were wrong. This week’s champion is undisputed: Desmond Howard. He went 10-0, so there’s not much discussion. David Pollack went 7-1 and Lee Corso went 9-2 so those were our runners-up. This week’s big loser is probably Lou Holtz going 3-2 or Skip Bayless going 6-4 even though those are still winning records. Lots of our experts picked Bama over LSU as their only pick of the week but nobody ever wins or loses by one game in my made up rankings.

Week 10: Weekday picks

Posted on November 3, 2011 by gamedaycole

Here’s our picks as of Thursday afternoon. Everyone wants to get their official LSU/Alabama pick on the record so I expect to hear from damn near everyone I’ve ever tracked this week. I also wouldn’t be surprised if we had a few experts change their minds as Saturday night nears (Lou Holtz, I’m looking in your direction). Also, Pat Forde has officially left ESPN for Yahoo sports, but I’ll keep up with him from time to time since I enjoy his work. I’ll be back tomorrow with more updates, and as always, I post live picks as I see them on my Twitter @gamedaycole

Week 9, 2011 Results

Posted on October 31, 2011 by gamedaycole

I had to work all weekend so I wasn’t able to update the blog. I’ve been burning through the DVR to catch up on all the picks and here’s how things turned out. Michigan State, Wisconsin and Clemson tripped up almost all of our experts with NONE of our panel picking Georgia Tech to upset Clemson (side note: I had Clemson on UPSET ALERT). Most of the guys batted around .500 this week, except for Lee Corso (8-4) and Tom Luginbill (7-2). This week’s loser is without a doubt Gameday’s special guest Eric Stonestreet going 2-7, but among our ESPN crew I have to give Colin Cowherd a rare loss going 2-4.
