Week 2 2016: College football picks are graded; results are in! #CFB #CFBPlayoff
Week 2 had a schedule that not many were excited about, but some of us around here know that the sleepy schedules can sometimes bring great games and upsets. We saw a huge upset in Central Michigan taking down Oklahoma State due to an incorrect call on the last play. The NCAA has said they aren’t overturning it, so neither are we. That being said, let’s dive right in.
Winners this week include Lee Corso (9-1), Marcus Spears (5-0), Andrea Adelson (10-2), Charles Arbuckle (9-3), Chris Doering (4-1), Danny Kanell (3-0 SU, 2-0 ATS), and Greg McElroy (4-1). This week’s official winner is none other than last year’s champion Phil Steele, who brought in a 9-2 record straight up and went 7-2 against the spread! Congratulations Phil, the fruit basket is on the way.
Losers this week include Kirk Herbstreit (5-6) and Pat Forde (3-1 straight up, but 0-4 ATS). Unfortunately this week’s loss is going to have to go to one of last week’s winners. Scott Van Pelt started off hot last week but fell back down to earth this week going 1-4 against the spread on his WINNER$ segment. Sorry SVP, the dunce hat is being shipped your way this week.
Lee Corso got things back on track this week winning his headgear pick of Tennessee over Virginia Tech. Special guest celebrity Dale Earnhardt Jr. went 5-5 on the week after I gave him props for being a knowledgeable guest picker. Jennifer booked a nice win at 11-4 on the week, while @TheGamedayBaby also booked a win with Tennessee over VT.
