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 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.
