2016-17 Regular Season standings!

Posted on December 12, 2016 by gamedaycole

We have put the final nail in the coffin of our 2016-17 regular season with the completion of Army-Navy on Saturday. Before we unleash Bowl Mania picks (which will be an absolute BONANZA of picks), we need to take a look at the season standings below.

As always, we take the body of work provided by all of our expert pickers when our voting committee (of one) decides who wins on any given week or season. Our top competitors have been neck and neck all season long, and we are pleased to award @GamedayJen with her first ever regular season championship! She came in at 148-50 on the season for an average of 74.75%. She barely outnicked Phil Steele with a week 15 5-0 record picking Army-Navy and some fun FCS, D2 and D3 games against the Gameday crew. Phil Steele and Joey Galloway, along with Jen, were in a virtual 3-way tie the entire season at the top. Bowl Season is always where one can make or break a season, and where legends are made. Stay tuned throughout bowl season for a ton of picks to see how the season ends up!

2012 Regular Season Standings

Posted on December 10, 2012 by gamedaycole

As we ramp up to bowl season this Saturday, I thought we would take a moment to review where everyone stands heading into bowl season. This has been a very strong year at the top, with Tom Luginbill currently sitting on top of things at 80% right (I’m not counting SVP or Michael Smith with 4 picks). Pat Forde has been on a tear this year, and Lou Holtz is looking good headed into bowl season thanks to Notre Dame running the table. Most years, his Notre Dame undefeated predictions lead to his demise. On the other end of the spectrum is rookie Brian Griese who is trying his hardest to tank this season, and Mark May who is the victim of Dr. Lou’s historic run. I’ll be updating all week with bowl picks, so check back often because who knows when the picks might start rolling in!

Scott Van Pelt: 100% (4-0)
