Week 11 2013: Results are in, picks are graded!
I know its a few days late, but the picks from week 11 have been graded. Results were mixed this weeks since nobody on the planet picked Stanford to beat Oregon and a handful of close games. Winners this week include Kirk Herbstreit (8-3) and Jennifer (8-3), but this week’s undisputed winner was Lee Corso at 9-2. Corso also got his headgear pick right, going with Bama over LSU.
Losers this week include Todd McShay (3-4), Dari Nowkhah (6-5), Robert Smith (4-4) and Jason Sehorn (5-5). Colin Cowherd had a mediocre week at 7-5, and everyone else was somewhere in the middle right there with him.
Our upset specials this week went great all around. Celebrity guest picker Jake Peavy went 6-3 overall, but nailed his upset special of Vandy over Florida. Expert analyst Jennifer continues to crush the upset specials with VaTech over Miami Fl this week. Mark Schlabach and Brad Edwards both got on the board with Pitt over Notre Dame as well. Todd McShay went with KState over TTU and completed our panel of upset specialists to a combined 5-0 this week.
We also saw the return of the Matt Millen show, which is always exciting. He went 2-1 this week. You’re welcome.
Joining our ranks this week is noted college football expert Phil Steele. He went 3-1 this week. I have been tracking him on and off for a while, but wasn’t sure exactly how to handle him. Since he charges money for his content on ESPN insider, and since I don’t want to get sued, I am ONLY tracking the picks he makes on the ESPNU podcast and appearances on ESPN television. So far he is absolutely crushing it on the year, so everyone else will need to step up their game.
