Week 12, 2010 Updated

Posted on November 21, 2010 by gamedaycole

Well it was an average schedule this week but turned out to have alot of really competitive games and lots of near upsets. I was able to track a good amount of picks this week, but with one regret. I’ve found Trevor Matich doesn’t pick alot of games on College Football Live, but he does picks every Saturday on College Gameday radio. This week I tuned in for a while, went to the bathroom, came back to the radio and heard “… and those are the picks for today! We’ll be back after this!” What a bummer because I really need to beef up his sample size.

It was a pretty good weekend for all our experts because mostly all the favorites won. I’ve graded the picks below. In a real shakeup, after all the updated archival picks and this week, Desmond Howard has overtaken BOTH Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit as the official College Gameday leader.

In other exciting news, we’ve had more hits on the site this month than ever before, and today is our all time high for a day! Don’t ask how many, just pretend its big.
