Week 2 2025: CFB analyst picks are graded; results are in!
Week 2 of our 2025 college football season is in the books and the picks from our college football analysts are graded. As a reminder, these are straight up picks from college football analysts; not gambling picks.
Winners this week include Chip Patterson (21-2), David Hale (7-1), and Tom Fornelli/Richard Johnson (20-3). However, I’m giving this week’s win to Rece Davis for going 6-0 on his picks on the College Gameday podcast this week.
This was our first official week with no Lee Corso, so there’s sadly nothing to report on headgear picks going forward. Kirk Herbstreit went 4-3. Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and Nick Saban went 4-4. Celebrity guest picker Trae Young, making his second guest picker appearance, went 5-3 on his picks this week.
Check out the full results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
