Week 12: Midweek picks

Posted on November 17, 2011 by gamedaycole

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.

Week 10: Weekday picks

Posted on November 3, 2011 by gamedaycole

Here’s our picks as of Thursday afternoon. Everyone wants to get their official LSU/Alabama pick on the record so I expect to hear from damn near everyone I’ve ever tracked this week. I also wouldn’t be surprised if we had a few experts change their minds as Saturday night nears (Lou Holtz, I’m looking in your direction). Also, Pat Forde has officially left ESPN for Yahoo sports, but I’ll keep up with him from time to time since I enjoy his work. I’ll be back tomorrow with more updates, and as always, I post live picks as I see them on my Twitter @gamedaycole

Week 5 2011 Results

Posted on October 2, 2011 by gamedaycole

Here’s the results from Week 5 of 2011. David Pollack had the best week going 6-1 with Mark May posting a 5-1. Skip Bayles finally broke 60% on his picks after this week (he’s long been near the bottom of my rankings), so congratulations to Skip. Lee Corso went a mediocre 8-6 this week, but I have to give this week’s loss to Jerry Ferrara at 5-4. Also, in a Nyquil induced haze, I forgot to post Colin Cowherd, Todd Mcshay and Pat Forde’s picks on Saturday, so my apologies. Pages are being updated as we speak.

Edit: I misgraded the Auburn win over South Carolina, and missed out on Matt Millen, Jesse Palmer, Tom Luginbill, and the ESPNU Experts too. Since this is such an abortion, I’m just posting the results while the individual pages will be updated with next week’s updates.
