Week 9 brought us another great Saturday full of fantastic college football games.  2016 is truly the gift that keeps on giving, at least as far as college football goes.  As we head into week 10, let’s look back at how week 9’s picks sorted themselves out.

Winners this week included Lee Corso (9-2), Tim Tebow (4-1), Paul Finebaum (5-2), Chris Fallica (6-2 straight up, 10-2 ATS), Bruce Feldman (8-4 straight up, 8-4 ATS), and Scott Van Pelt (7-2 ATS).  However, this week’s official win (for those of you playing along at home) is going to go to Phil Steele.  Phil booked a 20-6 record straight up and went 15-9 against the spread.  Congratulations to Phil, you can expect a complimentary coupon book in the mail for being this week’s GamedayCole.com Winner of the Week.

Losers this week included Chris Doering (1-3), Mike Golic (0-3), and a questionable 5-4 performance from Kirk Herbstreit.  However this week’s official loss will be credited to Desmond Howard who had a solid 4-6 record this week.  He had a few bold predictions, but none bolder than Nebraska (a 10 point underdog) beating Wisconsin by DOUBLE DIGITS.  The dunce cap is coming back to action this week and heading to Desmond’s room at the Heisman House.

Coach Corso got his headgear pick right again, and he is having a great year after last year’s disaster.  He is off to a 7-2 start including a five game winning streak.  @GamedayJen booked another win this week at 7-4, and she still controls her own destiny in the hunt for this year’s championship.  Special guest celebrity Frank Caliendo showed up to do his John Madden impersonation and read someone else’s picks off of a sheet of paper, but I have to give him credit for a great 8-2 record this week.  I believe that nudges him into 1st place amongst celebrity guests this year.

Everyone else is somewhere in between, so check out the full slate below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
