Week 1 2016: College football weekday picks! #CFB #CFBPlayoff

It is once again time to get weekly picks going for this season.  Preseason picks are in the books, and we will be revisiting those in a few months, so in the meantime week 1 picks are starting to come in.  We will be updating this post for the next few days with more weekday picks, and as always we will be back Saturday morning for all of those delicious Saturday morning picks from College Gameday, SEC Nation, Dari & Mel, and whoever else shows up.

Friday update

A few quick notes. I’m probably going to put up an ESPNU page to host David Pollack, Tom Luginbill, and this week’s newest addition Coach Mike Bellotti from ESPNU’s “The Experts”. They’re kinda of their own little world and not as widely known so I’ll probably stick them on a page together.

I’m considering adding the guys from Around the Horn to this site but that would be a huge undertaking. Haven’t decided yet.

I’m considering voiding Trevor Matich’s pick in the Iron Bowl last week as well. The week before on College Gameday radio I believe he called for a Bama upset. Then on College Football Live last week he called an Auburn win unless I’m crazy. On 1st and 10 today he was on, and Skip said “You and I both picked Alabama last week”. So WTF? Not really sure what to do.

Going to be a big weekend full of picks and as usual things will be graded and updated Sunday. Here’s a few picks in the meantime.

David Pollack:
Oregon over Cal, wk11
Auburn over Bama, wk13
Oregon over OregSt

Tom Luginbill:
LOSS Bama over Florida, 12/6/2008
Oregon over Cal, wk11
UConn over USF
VaTech over FSU
OU over Nebraska
Auburn over S.Car
Oregon over OregSt

Coach Mike
UConn over USF
VaTech over FSU
OU over Nebraska
Auburn over S.Car

Skip Bayless:
