Posted on by gamedaycole

Results are in from week 9.  It was a so-so week after two really tough weeks full of upsets.  Our undisputed winner this week is Colin Cowherd, who came in at a monstrous 11-0.  Others receiving gold stars are Trevor Matich (4-0), Dari Nowkhah (8-2), Charles Arbuckle (8-2), and Lee Corso (8-2).  Todd McShay went 7-1 including two upset special picks which were correct.

Losers this week include special guest celebrity Ashton Eaton (4-5), Kirk Herbstreit (5-4), Mark May (2-3), and of course, Brian Griese (0-3).  Coach Corso got his headgear pick right, going with Oregon over UCLA.  Billy the Cat also chose Oregon, so they are still tied on the year.  Full results are below, so check it out to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.

Week 5 2013: Results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 5 was a big week with tons of picks from lots of experts.  I guess that happens when there’s significant games going on.  The biggest stumbling block this week from our experts was the Oklahoma St/WVU game.  Nobody that picked that game got it right.  Due to that fact, our winner this week is Gameday celebrity picker Bubba Watson, who went undefeated at 10-0 (but didn’t pick the OKSt/WVU game).  Jennifer came in at an impressive 13-1, and will share this week’s victory with Bubba Watson.  Other winners include Colin Cowherd (9-2), Charlie Arbuckle (8-2), and Dari Nowkhah (8-2).  Losers this week are Desmond Howard (3-4), and Brian Griese (2-3).  Corso lost his headgear pick going with LSU.  Billy the Cat won by picking Georgia.  They are both tied at 2-3 on the year, so its a good race to see who can pick big games better.  Commemorative fruit baskets have been mailed to this week’s winners along with their certificates.  Check out below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
