Week 1 of our college football season is in the books, and the picks from our esteemed panel of analysts are graded. As a reminder, these are straight-up picks; not against the spread. I’m also combining week 0 and week 1 for simplicity’s sake.
Winners this week include Danny Kanell (13-2), Richard Johnson (19-4) and Andrea Adelson (13-3). However, this week’s undisputed winner was Tom Fornelli of Cover 3 podcast fame for going 24-2 on his picks this week. Congratulations to Tom on a great winning week.
Lee Corso went 6-0 on his picks this week, including a win in his final headgear selection Ohio State over Texas. He finishes out a wonderful career going 287-144 (66.59%) on his headgear picks and 2383-1243-1 (65.72%) overall. Yes, he tied a game many years ago. Congratulations to Coach Corso on a wonderful career.
The 2024-25 college football season has come to a close with Ohio State defeating Notre Dame for the championship on Monday night. That means we are now ready to award our own championship for picking college football games as well as hand out some awards.
I am very proud to announce the 2024-25 college football gambling champion is none other than Chris “The Bear” Fallica from Fox Sports. This season he went 84-60-3 against the spread for a profit of 16.28 units on sides/totals, and also profited 15.1 units over 85 picks on the money line this year. His grand total was 31.38 units of profit on his sides, totals and money line picks this year. Congratulations to the Bear on a fantastic year!
Rufus Peabody actually had the largest profit on sides and totals at 20.73 units with his picks on the Bet the Process podcast. He gets the official gold star for going 75% against the number. Joel Klatt was close behind at 63.33% for a profit of 18.82 units, and he will get the official red ribbon. I’m also awarding Collin Wilson and Wes Reynolds with a certificate of recognition for the most profit of all the “volume shooters”.
In the College Gameday Super Dog picks this year, Desmond Howard went 7-5 for the best record against the spread (I don’t keep track of all the point systems they use).

Week 15 of our 2024 college football season is in the books and the picks from our analysts are graded. As a reminder, these are straight up picks; not against the spread. Let’s jump right in.
With a limited slate of games we don’t have any BIG winners, so I guess I’ll give out a participation award to everyone this week. Lee Corso was out recovering from a procedure, so there’s no headgear pick. Kirk Herbstreit went 4-2. Desmond Howard and Nick Saban went 3-4. Pat McAfee went 5-2. Celebrity guest picker Timothée Chalamet went 4-3 on the week.
Everyone else is in the mix below so check out the full slate of results to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week!
