Week 12 Results (ouch)

Here’s the results from Week 12 of our 2011 season.  There were some outrageous upsets this weekend, some of which we haven’t seen the likes of since the year of the upset in 2007.  Iowa St upset Oklahoma State as a four touchdown dog and there wasn’t anyone who picked that upset. Desmond Howard was the only expert to pick Baylor over Oklahoma.  Lou Holtz was the only expert to pick USC over Oregon.  If that tells you anything, that tells you that nobody had a good week this week.  Our winners this week were Jesse Palmer and Dr. Lou Holtz who both put up 5-1 records (and were pretty much the only ones to put up a reasonable winning week).  Tom Luginbill gets the silver star at 6-3.  Lee Corso is this week’s bottom of the barrel going 3-9.  My girlfriend Jennifer hit another upset special, so its a big week around here.

Week 12: Midweek picks

Here’s the early picks this week. As always, the early week picks are subject to change and I will post any new picks these guys have. Also please note that some of these picks are from the new ESPN touch-screen device they’ve been shoe-horning into every show where the guys can predict the rest of the season for a particular team (this device seems to fail often too but they insist upon using it). That’s why you may see such impressive picks as Tom Luginbill’s bold prediction of South Carolina over Citadel. A pick is a pick to me, so its going in the record. Check back often for updates here and on Twitter @gamedaycole.
