Week 8 2017: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!
Welcome back everyone. After another exciting weekend of college football the picks are graded and the results are in the book.
Winners this week included Tim Tebow/Marcus Spears (4-0), Paul Finebaum (5-0), Andrea Adelson (5-1), Chris Doering (5-1), Phil Steele (10-4 straight up, 11-9 ATS), and your boy SVP (4-3 ATS). However, this week’s big winner is none other than @GamedayJen after dropping a 14-2 week for another dominating performance. The time is drawing near for her to appear on Gameday and take on Corso and the gang in person.
Losers this week were in short supply. Mediocre performances included Rufus Peabody (3-4 ATS) and Kirk Herbstreit (9-6 straight up, 0-1 ATS). We’ve piled on Rufus Peabody for a few weeks, so let’s give this week’s loss to Ryen Russillo at 1-2 ATS.
Coach Corso almost claimed this week’s win at 11-3 straight up and 1-0 ATS. Special geust celebrity Ki-Jana Carter had a nice winning week at 8-1. @TheGamedayBaby booked her win this week taking Baylor+9.5 and treated the family to a nice steak dinner Sunday night, so thanks for that.
Everyone else is somewhere in between, so check out the full slate of results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
