Week 9 2016: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 9 brought us another great Saturday full of fantastic college football games.  2016 is truly the gift that keeps on giving, at least as far as college football goes.  As we head into week 10, let’s look back at how week 9’s picks sorted themselves out.

Winners this week included Lee Corso (9-2), Tim Tebow (4-1), Paul Finebaum (5-2), Chris Fallica (6-2 straight up, 10-2 ATS), Bruce Feldman (8-4 straight up, 8-4 ATS), and Scott Van Pelt (7-2 ATS).  However, this week’s official win (for those of you playing along at home) is going to go to Phil Steele.  Phil booked a 20-6 record straight up and went 15-9 against the spread.  Congratulations to Phil, you can expect a complimentary coupon book in the mail for being this week’s GamedayCole.com Winner of the Week.

Losers this week included Chris Doering (1-3), Mike Golic (0-3), and a questionable 5-4 performance from Kirk Herbstreit.  However this week’s official loss will be credited to Desmond Howard who had a solid 4-6 record this week.  He had a few bold predictions, but none bolder than Nebraska (a 10 point underdog) beating Wisconsin by DOUBLE DIGITS.  The dunce cap is coming back to action this week and heading to Desmond’s room at the Heisman House.

Coach Corso got his headgear pick right again, and he is having a great year after last year’s disaster.  He is off to a 7-2 start including a five game winning streak.  @GamedayJen booked another win this week at 7-4, and she still controls her own destiny in the hunt for this year’s championship.  Special guest celebrity Frank Caliendo showed up to do his John Madden impersonation and read someone else’s picks off of a sheet of paper, but I have to give him credit for a great 8-2 record this week.  I believe that nudges him into 1st place amongst celebrity guests this year.

Everyone else is somewhere in between, so check out the full slate below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.

Week 6 2016: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

After a long holiday weekend we are back up and running with your week 6 picks and predictions graded for all to see.

Winners this week included Lee Corso (7-3), Andrea Adelson (5-2), Charles Arbuckle (12-5), Chris Doering (4-1), Chris Fallica (7-1 straight up, 8-2 ATS), Paul Finebaul (5-0), Joey Galloway (6-1), Danny Kanell (7-0 straight up, 1-1-1 ATS), Booger McFarland (5-2), Marcus Spears (5-0), Phil Steele (19-4 straight up, 12-7-1 ATS), and Tim Tebow (4-1).  Our biggest winner on the week is newcomer Dusty Dvoracek who went 4-0 straight up and 5-1 against the spread!  Congratulations Dusty, the congratulatory cookie bouquet is on the way.

Losers this week included Stanford Steve, who went 3-3 straight up and 3-4 against the spread.  However we will have to give the official loss to your boy SVP who went 2-4 against the spread on Winners last week.

Corso is back on track this week picking Texas A&M to beat Tennessee for his headgear pick.  The special guest celebrity pickers known as the Chain Smokers went 4-5 on the week, basically following Desmond Howard’s picks and showing little interest in College Gameday or sports as a whole.  Jennifer’s two week streak as weekly champion came to an end this week but she still booked a winner at 8-5.

Week 4 2016: #CFB Picks are graded; results are posted!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 4 saw an exciting schedule of games and promised to be a tough slate of games to predict.  Results were mixed as expected with some of our experts trending up and some continuing to spiral downward.  Let’s get right to it.

Winners this week included Kirk Herbstreit (9-5), Desmond Howard (11-3), Andrea Adelson (7-3), Charles Arbuckle (11-4), Dusty Dvoracke (4-0 straight up, 3-2 ATS), Paul Finebaum (5-1), Pat Forde (19-5 straight up, but 1-2 ATS), Danny Kanell (6-2 straight up but 2-2 ATS), and Phil Steele (15-5 straight up, but 8-8 ATS).  However this week’s undisputed winner was @GamedayJen who killed it going 13-3 this week on a tough slate of games to pick.  Congratulations to Jen; keep an eye out for that congratulatory basket of mini-muffins which is on the way!

Losers this week were all over the place.  It was a tough week to pick games, and even tougher against the spread for our experts.  David Pollack, Tim Tebow and Chris Doering went 2-3 on their picks, while Joey Galloway and Booger McFarland went 3-4 on the week.  Dari Nowkhah went 0-2 straight up and 0-2 ATS.  Your boy SVP went 2-3 ATS on the week.  However the co-Losers of the Week are going to have to be Stanford Steve and the Bear Chris Fallica.  They are on a death spiral of historic proportions this season… at least on my blog.  The Bear in particular has made it known that his strategy in picking games (particularly against the spread) is that if he picks an underdog to cover, he’s picking them to win on the field.  He’s picking those straight up winners at a 53.57% clip and against the spread at 32.05%.  Stanford Steve is picking straight up at 54.17% and 34.21% against the spread this season, so they are neck-and-neck this year.  I know as well as anyone that there are swings picking against the spread, so this will surely improve as the season continues.  Unfortunately for them, they can share the dunce cap this week.

Lee Corso went 7-5 on the week including a loss in his headgear pick.  Special guests Phillip Fulmer and Steve Spurrier went 5-6 and 6-5, respectively.  The Gameday Baby picked up another win going with Tennessee, meaning she has a one game lead on Corso this season.  Everyone else is somewhere in between so check out the full slate of results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
