The slate of week 4 games did not seem like the best schedule going into this week, but Saturday delivered plenty of excitement, close games and upsets.  Lots of trendy picks again this week, with plenty of our experts jumping on the Tennessee, Auburn, and Arizona bandwagons.  We saw lots of tough results this week in the predictions game, but had a few standout performances from some of our competitors.

Big winners this week included Tim Tebow (4-0), Paul Finebaum (4-1), Greg McElroy (4-1), Brett McMurphy (3-0 ATS), newcomer Chris Doering (4-1), and Brad Edwards (6-0-1, 2-0-1 ATS).  Our official winner this week was Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica, who put up a 13-3-1 record this week, including a BEEFY 6-2-1 record against the spread.  He is printing money this year, so collect it while you can!

Losers this week were many in number, and included Desmond Howard (4-7), David Pollack (4-5), Dari Nowkhah (1-3), and Phil Steele (11, 4-7 ATS) .  Our official losers of the week will be Stanford Steve Coughlin, who went 3-7 (2-3 ATS) and Dr. Lou Holtz, who went 0-3.  I have to stop and mention Joe Tessitore, because it is always funny when someone like Tessitore always stays neutral while piloting a show like SEC Nation.  However, he went out of his way to let you know that he felt so strongly about Auburn winning this week that you should make note of it.  Well, we did, and Auburn didn’t, so we are having a little fun with that.

Other notes of interest:  Lee Corso went 6-6 on the week, and 0-1 on his headgear pick Arizona.  This week’s special celebrity guest Bob Baffert went a respectable 6-4 on the week, and our first ever special celebrity horse American Pharoah went 1-0 on the week.  Charley the Cat also went 1-0 on the week going with UCLA, and Jennifer went 10-4 on the week.  One highlight of note was Heather Dinich predicting Oregon to go down to Utah; the only soul who had the guts to pick that one.  On a final note, Pat Forde put up what may be the worst pick of the year so far this week.  He picked Old Dominion to beat App State, and unfortunately they went on to lose 56-0.  Oh well, better luck next time.
