Week 5 2016: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week five brought us another excellent week of exciting games and tough games to pick.  This college football season is really on pace to be one of the best ever, with every weekend providing multiple big matchups, and lots of crazy finishes.  Winners amongst our expert panel of predictors and prognosticators were everywhere.  Let’s get right into picks and results.

Winners this week include Lee Corso (9-4), Kirk Herbstreit (12-3), Desmond Howard (10-5), David Pollack (5-1), the entire SEC Nation crew (Tebow and Spears at 5-0, Finebaum at 6-0), Andrea Adelson (8-3), Pat Forde (20-9 Straight up, 1-2 ATS), Joey GAlloway (5-0), Booger McFarland (7-1), Ryen Russillo (3-0 Straight up, 4-0 ATS), Phil Steele (18-7 straight up, 10-12-1 ATS), and SVP (4-1 ATS).  Stanford Steve got things back on track this week at 4-2 straight up; 7-1-1 against the spread.  The Bear also booked a winner at 4-2 straight up; 6-3 ATS.  However, I am proud to say that @GamedayJen blew away the competition for the second straight week going 14-3.  In back to back weeks she has posted a 27-6 record picking the same slate of games as the pros on ESPN, and nobody else was even close over this two week span.  Congratulations Jen!  I heard last week’s muffin basket got lost in transit, so there is a congratulatory cheese platter headed your way.

Losers this week were few and far between but we still had a few.  JA Adande managed to pick all three big games wrong on Around the Horn Friday.  Charles Arbuckle went 6-7 on the Pick Center.  Tim Cowlishaw and Mike Golic both went 1-2 on the big games.  Since we have a limited selection I guess I have to credit this week’s loss to Adande in this week’s box score.

Corso went with Clemson for the headgear pick this week and got another one right, bringing him to 3-2 on the year.  He is off to a much better start than last year at least.  This week’s special guest celebrity Eric Church went 8-2 this week, bringing his lifetime record to 14-7 as a College Gameday celebrity picker.

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

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.

Week 3 2016: College football picks are graded; results are in! #CFB #CFBPicks

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 3 results are in and picks have been graded.  This proved to be a tough week for many of our expert analysts and prognosticators; especially those picking against the spread.

Winners this week include a nice 7-2 for Lee Corso, David Pollack (4-1), Andrea Adelson (8-4), Charles Arbuckle (14-6), Mack Brown (4-1), Chris Doering (4-1), Dusty Dvoracek (3-0 straight up, 4-1 ATS), Pat Forde (21-9 straight up, 4-1-1 ATS), Joey Galloway (5-2), Greg McElroy (6-1), Booger McFarland (4-1), and Marcus Spears (5-0).  Our official win this week goes to Desmond Howard who booked a nice 8-2 week so Desmond if you are reading this, you can expect a nice gift certificate to the GamedayCole.com online store in the mail.

Losers this week include another tough week for the Bear as he went 5-3 straight up and 5-6 ATS.  Paul Finebaum and Mark May had mediocre weeks at 3-2.  Danny Kanell went 4-3 straight up but 0-3 ATS.  His parter Ryen Russillo went 2-4 straight up, and 0-3 ATS.  Matt Leinart went 0-3 on the week.  However this week’s dunce cap is going to have to go to Dari Nowkhah, who decided the time was ripe to pick upsets and went 2-4 straight up and 1-2-1 ATS.

Coach Corso got back on track with the headgear picks choosing Louisville to upset FSU.  Special guest celebrity Laila Ali went 5-4 on the week.  @GamedayJen booked another winner at 9-4 on the week, while @TheGamedayBaby went 1-0 on the week.
