Week 14: Championship week results

Here’s the results from Week 14 of the 2011 season.  Quite a few mediocre weeks with Southern Miss upsetting Houston and VaTech upsetting Clemson.  Our winners this week were Jesse Palmer (4-1) and David Pollack going 7-1.  David Pollack was the only person who picked Southern Miss over Houston, and he also nailed two tough ones in Baylor over Texas and Okla St over Oklahoma.  Robert Smith is this week’s loser going 2-3.  Robert, unfortunately you can’t just pick the favorite in every game and win.  I’ll be posting our regular season overall records soon so everyone can see where we stand.  But now we’re entering Bowl Season, where legends are made and dreams are shattered.  Look forward to big slates of picks from all of our experts and check back often to see who is picking what games, and to see who you should be following.

Week 14: Weekday picks

Here’s the picks for the weekday experts.  I’ll be on the road this weekend travelling to see my Sam Houston State University Bearkats.  They’re the #1 seed in the FCS playoffs (Playoffs?  You kiddin’ me?) and this is very exciting.  I’ll try to be around to put in some updates but may or may not be able to.  Keep an eye out because I may just tweet all of this week’s Gameday picks instead of posting here since I’ll be on my phone for sure.  Enjoy.
