Week 3 2012: Results are up!

It was a pretty exciting Saturday yesterday in the world of college football.  Several big upsets, with #2 USC going down to Stanford, Virginia Tech going down against Pitt, and Notre Dame upsetting Michigan State.  Pretty much nobody gave Notre Dame a shot to win except the Notre Dame homers like Lou Holtz and Mike Golic, but they pulled it off nonetheless.  Those two games hurt a lot of our experts this week, so some of their prediction records took a hit, but that’s the whole reason we play the games out on the field.  Well, we play the games for that reason as well as things like determining a national champion.  Our big winners this week were Kirk Herbstreit going 9-3, David Pollack going 7-2.  Our weekly champion has to be Pat Forde, who continues his Secretariat-like-run going 26-5 this week.  Our big losers this week were Jason Sehorn, Robert Smith, and Colin Cowherd who all went 4-5.  Kenny Chesney also went 4-5, which brings his lifetime record to 11-8 on College Gameday.  Review the results below to see how your most beloved/hated personality did this week!

Week 1 2012: SATURDAY MORNING IS HERE!

Things are officially up and running here at our compound this morning.  We’ve got the energy drinks cracked, the dual TVs running with Notre Dame/Navy on the bottom screen and College Gameday on the main screen.  As the picks roll in we will be updating things live in this post, so check back often for updates to THIS post.  If you’re anything like me, you tossed and turned all night like a little kid on the night before Christmas; so incredibly excited to see what Santa Corso will bring us this year!  While we wait for the picks to come in this morning, please enjoy the following video which is an accurate representation of how my morning has gone so far.

Week 1 2012: Early picks

The week 1 picks are slowly trickling in folks.  The Gameday preseason predictions brought us some Penn St predictions from the Gameday crew.  College Football Daily has brought us a good bit from Dari Nowkhah (who it appears will be joining us full time this season on my blog), Coach Mike Bellotti, and Tom Luginbill.  In addition, today on the Herd, Colin Cowherd broke down Bama/Michigan with Scott Van Pelt and Ryen Russillo.  The trends so far seem to be a lot of love for Bama, none for Michigan, and everyone piling on NC St to beat the favored Tennessee Vols.  We’ll be back soon with more as they keep rolling in.
