With the 2020-21 College Football Championship complete, our COVID football season is in the books. The picks have been graded. Now we have arrived at a day which is tradition like none other. This is the day where I have a couple of bourbons, look at the results and arbitrarily pick a winner based on undefined and vague criteria.
Without further adieu, I present to you our 2020-21 Season Champions!
Coming in at 39-23 against the spread, an impressive 62.9%, Brady Quinn is your yearly champion! He picked games on a new “Win with Quinn” segment on Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff, as well as dropping picks for you on CBSSportsHQ.com. Congratulations Brady Quinn on your incredible year!
Coming in at 95-30 picking games straight up on Twitter, David Hale is our yearly champion for picking straight up winners. Others may have had a higher percentage, but he had the highest percentage of pickers with 100+ picks and that’s my trivial criteria this year.
Coming in at 25.42% ROI, up 7.88 units (if all plays were single units), and picking 31 games, Danny Kanell is your first ever GamedayCole.com Money Line yearly champion.
Congratulations to all competitors and I hope to see you all back next year.
