2013-14 College Gameday Season Preview

Posted on August 24, 2013 by gamedaycole

Ladies and gents, boys and girls, children of all ages… one week from today I can confirm that the College Gameday boys will be COMIN’ TO YOUR CITAY! And that means one thing and one thing only: College Gameday Season Preview! That’s right. Lee, Kirk, Chris and Desmond sat around this morning making their bold picks for the season to come. In case you missed it last year, they all did quite poorly with their preseason picks (don’t worry, we will be reviewing that this week for your pleasure). As for this year? Here’s how things are shaking out. The guys all think that Texas A&M is better with one John “Football” Manziel. Kirk and Des said 10 wins with, 8 wins without the Heisman trophy winner. Lee said 10 wins with, 6 wins without. They all had BIG years for Stanford predicting the Cardinal to win the Pac-12, and some of them predicting even bigger things! Frankly, there weren’t a lot of big shocking predictions for this year. Desmond Howard predicts Ohio State will not go undefeated, and also predicted Michigan will win the Big 10. This would be shocking if he wasn’t the #1 Michigan homer on the planet, and the #1 Ohio State enemy. Anyways, read up below for the full slate of picks. Each one had a BOLD PREDICTION OF THE DAY which I have highlighted below, because these things are important. We also welcome back Jennifer, who has not only decided to put up with this blog for another year, but actually verbally agreed to marry me during the offseason, so let us all rejoice. Enjoy!

2013 Open Season!

Posted on August 5, 2013 by gamedaycole

Welcome back everyone. In case you missed it, the 2013 season is officially open. No no, the games haven’t started. I’m talking about the other season. The picks have started. This year’s Golden Pick is in, where we honor the first pick issued by one of our experts. Last year, it was a tweet from David Pollack that opened things up. This year, we kick things off with a tweet from the one and only Kirk Herbstreit.

@KirkHerbstreit: “@daskins_21: @KirkHerbstreitAny chance VT upsets Bama week 1?” Absolutely not!

THAT’S RIGHT FOLKS! KIRK HERBSTREIT IS CALLING ALABAMA OVER VIRGINIA TECH! Mark it down, and check back often. We are going to be updating over the next few weeks with some fun editorials, analysis, and of course more picks as we get nearer to week 1 of the 2013 season.
