Boy oh boy.  We had an interesting day yesterday in college football.  You probably heard about it.  People often like to tell me how easy it is to pick winners straight up in this game, but I haven’t heard from any of those experts today.  The results from this week are pretty bad and pretty weird.  Winners this week are few and far between.  They include Desmond Howard (8-5), David Pollack (6-3), Tim Tebow (4-2) and Phil Steele (10-6).  However, this week’s undisputed champion is Katy Perry for some reason, who came in at 7-2.  She nailed both the Miss St and Ole Miss upsets, as well as the Notre Dame win over Stanford.  I am not sure that we have had an undisputed weekly winner from the celebrity guest realm since I started tracking this nonsense, so congratulations to Katy Perry I guess.

Losers this week can be found by opening any phone book and pointing to a random name.  However, more specifically, our big losers this week include Kirk Herbstreit (3-10), Dari Nowkhah (0-4), Mel Kiper Jr. (1-3), Brett McMurphy (1-3), Robert Smith (2-4), Mark May (1-4), Danny Kanell (1-4), Trevor Matich (1-3), Brad Edwards (1-3), with many others slightly under .500 this week.  We will split the official loss this week between Herbie and Dari I guess.

Other notes from this week: You already know our special guest celebrity was Katy Perry, who despite having no valuable input on any of her picks, went 7-2 on the week.  Lee Corso lost his headgear pick this week, going with Alabama over Ole Miss, dropping him to 6-1 on the season.  Tim Tebow only went 4-2 this week, bringing him to a lousy 22-3 record on the year.  Jennifer managed to end up on the winning side this week, going 7-5, but the real exciting news is that she hit on a double upset special picking Ole Miss over TCU to win their games.  There were ridiculous victory dances performed in our living room as one would expect.  Charley the Cat got her pick right this week, and I have never seen her more confident in a pick when digging into her blue Ole Miss bowl yesterday morning.  That brings her to 5-1 on the year.  The “Desmond Howard Michigan Pick of the Week” did not pay off this week, with Rutgers taking down the Wolverines.  That brings him to 12-14 all time.  Darius Rucker made a surprise appearance on ESPNU’s The Edge this week, and since he is a former Gameday picker, I included his 0-2 record in the official stat sheet.  Butch Davis showed up randomly this week to make three picks (1-2) for the first time in over two years, so welcome back Butch.

Other than that, there’s lots of picks below, so check them out to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.  Chances are, it wasn’t good.
