Week 15 2013: Picks are graded, results are up!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Our final week of the regular season was a rough one for our panel of football experts.  The slate of games was pretty small, so there weren’t quite as many cupcakes to choose from I guess.  Let’s dive right into the good stuff.

We only had a few winners this week to speak of.  Jennifer will claim a slice of this week’s pie, going 5-2 on the week.  Mark May went 4-1 on the week, with his only lossing being Oklahoma State.  The two of them will split this week’s win.  Other mediocre winning weeks came from Colin Cowherd (3-2), Phil Steele, 4-3), Brian Griese (2-1), and Dari Nowkhah (6-4).

Our dueling celebrity guest pickers Joey Chesnut and Ryan Riess both went 4-2, although picking differently.  Chesnut went with Ohio State while Riess went with Michigan State, while Stanford got it right with Stanford, while Riess chose Arizona State.

Upset specialists had a solid week.  Mark Schlabach got his pick right this week with Michigan State over Ohio State.  Brad Edwards shocked the world with BGSU over NIU (Phil Steele is the only other expert to take BGSU).  Todd McShay jumped on the Mizzou bandwagon, and sadly missed out on the Auburn win.  Jennifer nailed another upset special going with Michigan State, but in case you missed it, that means in back to back weeks, her upset special predicted the demise of BOTH THE #1 AND #2 TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY!  She will be awarded a golden unicorn star for this feat of sorcery.

Before we get to losers this week, I thought I’d mention that Coach Corso went 3-3 on the week but missed his headgear pick (the Buckeyes).  Now on to losers.  Herbie kicked things off with a 2-4 record this week.  Todd McShay posted a 1-3 week.  Dr. Lou decided to swing for the fences, and missed by a mile with a 1-3 record.  Robert Smith went 2-4 while Brad Edwards went 2-3.  However, this week’s undisputed loser was Mel Kiper Jr. who went 1-4 on the week.  Sorry pal.

Week 14 2013: College picks are graded, results are posted!

Posted on by gamedaycole

The picks from week 14 of our 2013 college football season have been graded.  It was a pretty slow week in college football but I heard something about the Iron Bowl being good.  Maybe you saw it.  Anyways, here is how all of our guys did.

First and foremost, there were only three brave souls who went out on a limb and picked Auburn to upset the Crimson Tide.  The first expert to pick Auburn was none other than Gameday celebrity guest picker Charles Barkley.  The second expert going with the Tigers was everyone’s favorite personality Skip Bayless, who pulled a quick one on First Take saying “ROLL TIIII-GERS!!!”

However, the best pick of the week was none other than our resident expert picker, Jennifer (10-5 on the week).  She called for Auburn to upset Bama and was confident enough to release it as this week’s upset special.  That is confidence right there.  Todd McShay went 3-2 on the week, but did get his upset special of Duke over UNC.  Brad Edwards continued his rough season on upset specials, losing out on Arizona over Arizona State.  Mark Schlabach went off the grid picking Georgia State over S. Alabama, and he picked wrong.

Winners this week include Lee Corso (7-3) but he missed his headgear pick of Bama over Auburn.  Phil Steele also put up a respectable 7-3 on the week.  Charles Barkley went 6-2 on the week.  Trevor Matich went 5-1 on the week.  Since it was a mediocre week for the winners, I guess they can all split this week’s win.

Losers this week include Desmond Howard (3-3), Dari Nowkhah (5-5), Mike Bellotti (5-5), Mel Kiper Jr. (2-3), Danny Kanell (2-3), and Mark May (2-2).  However, this week’s undisputed winner is none other than Dr. Lou Holtz, who put up an impressive 1-5 record this week.
