Week 4 2018: CFB picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Welcome back from an exciting Saturday of college football action.  We’ve got the week 4 picks graded and the results are in.

Winners this week include Chris Doering (5-1), Phil Steele (12-2 straight up, but only 4-4-1 ATS), Chris Fallica (6-0 straight up, 4-2 ATS) and Lou Holtz (7-3).  Our undisputed winner this week was definitely Kirk Herbstreit, who posted a 12-3 record on the Gameday show this week.  They picked a ton of games this week, so I salute Herbie on this performance.

Losers this week were in short supply this week.  Nobody had a losing record of note, so let’s just award an official loss.  Our official loss goes to Bruce Feldman, who posted a 6-5 straight up record but had a disastrous 2-8 record against the spread.  Tough break Bruce.

Lee Corso posted a 10-6 record on the week but missed out on his headgear pick going with Oregon over Stanford.  Our special guest celebrity Tim Matheson had a nice week at 11-5, picking the biggest slate of games in Gameday celebrity history.  Bear’s Bank went 2-1 on the week.  @GamedayJen posted another winner at 14-5.  The full slate of results are below so check it out to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.

Posted on by gamedaycole

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen.  Week 3 had some really exciting games with some good upsets, and it made for an interesting week for all of our expert pickers and prognosticators.  Let’s dive right in.

Winners this week included Paul Finebaum (5-1), Bruce Feldman’s straight up picks (9-2), Lou Holtz (7-2), and Andrea Adelson (9-3).  Our official win this week goes to Rufus Peabody, with a sharp 5-0 week against the spread this week.  Congratulations to Rufus Peabody in whichever foreign port he resides in this week.

Losers this week include Kirk Herbstreit (7-6) and Mark May (6-5), but our big loss this week goes to Phil Steele (3-6 straight up, 1-7 ATS).  Sorry Phil, but that’s a tough week by any standards.

Coach Corso had a nice win going 8-3 on the week, and he nailed his headgear pick of Ohio State over TCU.  Special guest celebrity Roman Reigns went a very meh 6-4 on the week.  Bear’s Bank went 1-2 on the week (Fallica was 3-3 overall ATS).  @GamedayJen went 10-5 and pulled out a win after a rough start in the early games.  Everyone else is somewhere out there in the middle, so check out the full results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
