This season just keeps getting better and better as we saw after week 11. Some big upsets, some fantastic games, and some historic performances from our expert pickers and prognosticators here at GamedayCole.com.
Winners this week included Kirk Herbstreit (8-3), Desmond Howard (8-4), Marcus Spears (6-1), Chris Doering (7-2), Scott Spreitzer (3-1 ATS), and your boy SVP (6-2 ATS). Some nice performances from this week, but this week’s winner will be covered below.
Losers this week included Brent Musburger (1-3 ATS), Dusty Dvoracek (2-3 ATS), Stanford Steve (2-6 ATS), Andrea Adelson (3-4) and Paul Finebaum (2-3). We’ll give this week’s loss to Big Game Brent so he can enjoy the dunce cap this week.
Coach Corso knocked it out of the park this week going 10-2 straight up. He missed his Super Dog pick of ECU+5.5, and missed his headgear pick Notre Dame, but still a really strong performance. Who could possibly top 10-2 on the week? Gather round your children and grandchildren, and remember where you were Saturday when you watched College Gameday because we saw history being made. This week’s winner is none other than special guest celebrity Alex Rodriguez, who came in and dropped a 12-0 record on College Gameday this week! That is the first time a celebrity guest has won the week since Jake Owen posted an 11-0 record on 11/2/2013. This also means A-Rod set a new record for celebrity guests at 12-0 after passing Jake Owen. Given the fact that they rarely pick more than 10 games on Gameday, this is a record which will probably never be broken. Truly historic.
@GamedayJen posted a win at 8-4 on the week, while @TheGamedayBaby missed her public fade of the week taking UTEP+24 vs UNT. That’s three losers in a row from the baby, so maybe she needs to rethink this plan.
Everyone else is somewhere in between so check out the full slate of results below to find out how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week!
