Week 12 Results (ouch)

Posted on by gamedaycole

Here’s the results from Week 12 of our 2011 season.  There were some outrageous upsets this weekend, some of which we haven’t seen the likes of since the year of the upset in 2007.  Iowa St upset Oklahoma State as a four touchdown dog and there wasn’t anyone who picked that upset. Desmond Howard was the only expert to pick Baylor over Oklahoma.  Lou Holtz was the only expert to pick USC over Oregon.  If that tells you anything, that tells you that nobody had a good week this week.  Our winners this week were Jesse Palmer and Dr. Lou Holtz who both put up 5-1 records (and were pretty much the only ones to put up a reasonable winning week).  Tom Luginbill gets the silver star at 6-3.  Lee Corso is this week’s bottom of the barrel going 3-9.  My girlfriend Jennifer hit another upset special, so its a big week around here.

Week 11: Results

Posted on by gamedaycole

Here’s the results from Week 11 of our 2011 season.  Winners this week were Mike Bellotti going 6-0 and Kirk Herbstreit going 9-3.  This week Mike Bellotti becomes our only expert with more than 5 picks to break 80% (and he has 35 picks!).  Desmond Howard will have to be this week’s loss at 3-3, but nobody had too bad of a week.  Mostly all of our experts had mediocre records from all picking Stanford and Boise St.

After much deliberation I have made a decision: Oklahoma State waxed that ass against Texas Tech, narrowly beating out Houston’s win over Tulane for the Ass-Waxing of the week.  Congratulations Okie St.

My girlfriend Jennifer finally hit an upset special this week, so its been a very exciting week for her, and she continues to hold her own against the best of the best (she’s right ahead of Colin Cowherd on the season).  Also, I’ve revamped the rankings page to be my Hall of Champions.  I’ve removed the guest rankings because nobody really needs to know where Big Boi from Outkast ranks (and if you must know, he’s on the guest page).  Enjoy your week!
