Week 7 2014: Results are in, picks are graded! #saturdayselections #cfb

After a slight delay, Cole’s Gameday Blog is back in action bigger and better than ever (but mostly the exact same).  We had a family emergency which meant blogging about college football took a back seat to real life and we went MIA for a few days.  Blood was shed, eyebrows were singed, small animals were sacrificed, ninjas were fended off, and the house still smells a little bit like pickles, but adversity was overcome and everything is going to be fine.

Now we can get back to the business at hand.  It was another up-and-down week like last week, but this week was more up than down.  Winners this week included David Pollack (5-2), Dari and Mel (both 3-1), Greg McElroy (5-0), Booger McFarland (5-1), Marcus Spears (4-1), Brett McMurphy (5-0), Lou Holtz (4-1), and Colin Cowherd (8-3).  Todd McShay made his comeback this week after a recent absence, going 4-1.  Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith have woken back up to college football in recent weeks, and both went 3-1.  However, this week’s undisputed champion is hall of famer (both College Football, and Cole’s Gameday Blog Hall of Famer) Mike Bellotti, who went on a 7-1 tear this week.

Pretty solid week with lots of winners, right?  Well you may have noticed some very notable names not listed above.  Losers this week include Lee Corso (5-7),  Kirk Herbstreit (5-7), Desmond Howard (5-6), Paul Finebaum (2-3), Charles Arbuckle (2-3), Jon Berger (2-4), Joey Galloway (1-3), and our undisputed loser of the week, Trevor Matich (1-4).  Better luck next week guys.

Lee Corso nailed his headgear pick, going with Mississippi State over Auburn.  Charley the cat also picked Mississippi State, so they continue to be neck-and-neck on the year.  Special guest picker Jonathan Papelbon drunkenly stumbled his way to a 5-4 record this week, but he gets bonus points for the suit he wore.  Jennifer continues to rack up points on the Gameday crew, going 7-5 on the week including her upset special (Miss St over Auburn).  Tim Tebow continues his landslide into mediocrity, going 3-2 this week.  He might be human after all.  If you have been keeping score at home, you probably noticed that this whole SEC network cast of characters is pretty damn strong when it comes to picking games, with Greg McElroy leading the way at 85.37% on his picks this season.  Maybe next week I will power rank the channels based on their regular analysts.

Week 6 2014: Results are in, picks are graded, possibly NSFW #SaturdaySelections

Boy oh boy.  We had an interesting day yesterday in college football.  You probably heard about it.  People often like to tell me how easy it is to pick winners straight up in this game, but I haven’t heard from any of those experts today.  The results from this week are pretty bad and pretty weird.  Winners this week are few and far between.  They include Desmond Howard (8-5), David Pollack (6-3), Tim Tebow (4-2) and Phil Steele (10-6).  However, this week’s undisputed champion is Katy Perry for some reason, who came in at 7-2.  She nailed both the Miss St and Ole Miss upsets, as well as the Notre Dame win over Stanford.  I am not sure that we have had an undisputed weekly winner from the celebrity guest realm since I started tracking this nonsense, so congratulations to Katy Perry I guess.

Losers this week can be found by opening any phone book and pointing to a random name.  However, more specifically, our big losers this week include Kirk Herbstreit (3-10), Dari Nowkhah (0-4), Mel Kiper Jr. (1-3), Brett McMurphy (1-3), Robert Smith (2-4), Mark May (1-4), Danny Kanell (1-4), Trevor Matich (1-3), Brad Edwards (1-3), with many others slightly under .500 this week.  We will split the official loss this week between Herbie and Dari I guess.

Other notes from this week: You already know our special guest celebrity was Katy Perry, who despite having no valuable input on any of her picks, went 7-2 on the week.  Lee Corso lost his headgear pick this week, going with Alabama over Ole Miss, dropping him to 6-1 on the season.  Tim Tebow only went 4-2 this week, bringing him to a lousy 22-3 record on the year.  Jennifer managed to end up on the winning side this week, going 7-5, but the real exciting news is that she hit on a double upset special picking Ole Miss over TCU to win their games.  There were ridiculous victory dances performed in our living room as one would expect.  Charley the Cat got her pick right this week, and I have never seen her more confident in a pick when digging into her blue Ole Miss bowl yesterday morning.  That brings her to 5-1 on the year.  The “Desmond Howard Michigan Pick of the Week” did not pay off this week, with Rutgers taking down the Wolverines.  That brings him to 12-14 all time.  Darius Rucker made a surprise appearance on ESPNU’s The Edge this week, and since he is a former Gameday picker, I included his 0-2 record in the official stat sheet.  Butch Davis showed up randomly this week to make three picks (1-2) for the first time in over two years, so welcome back Butch.

Other than that, there’s lots of picks below, so check them out to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.  Chances are, it wasn’t good.
