Week 8 2015: Picks are graded; results are in! #cfb

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 8 brought us more close games and a few upsets, but it was another tough week to predict.  Our expert panel of predictors and prognosticators had their second tough week in a row, so let’s dive right into the results.

We had a handful of winners this week but not many dominant performances like we get from someone most weeks.  Winners include Kirk Herbstreit (10-4), Desmond Howard (8-4), Chris Fallica (12-6-1, 4-5-1 ATS), Pat Forde (19-5), Booger McFarland (7-2), Chris Doering (5-1), Phil Steele (14-4, 5-2 ATS), and Paul Finebaum (6-1).  This week’s official win in the record book is going to go to Scott Van Pelt, who went 6-2 on the week but 4-2 against the spread, and we like that around here.  His “WINNER$!” segment went 3-2 on the week, but he also threw in the fact that he loved USC laying the points but basically refuses to issue favorites as an official pick for the segment.  That was enough to nudge him past Finebaum at 6-1, so congratulations to SVP this week.  Official correction: Due to an error in our data processing division, Phil Steele’s record was graded wrong.  Boy I hope someone got fired for that blunder.  Phil Steele booked a 14-4 week and went 5-2 against the spread, so that was enough to nudge him past SVP for this week’s win.  Congratulations Phil!

With every week of winners we also have a few losers which need to be pointed out.  Dari Nowkhah posted his second losing week in a row at 2-4.  However, our undisputed loser of the week was Robert Smith who went 1-5 this week.  In fact, he self reported a 2-8 week against the spread, but I couldn’t find a full slate of his picks so we only go with what we know and what we know is 1-5.  If you have his full slate of 2-8 picks against the spread, please let me know because I’d certainly like to see that.

Special guest celebrity Dierks Bentley went 4-4 on the week, confirming that showing up with little-to-no worthwhile input on the games you are picking is not a winning formula.  He basically rolled out of bed looking pretty disheveled and possibly reeking of whiskey and a 4AM taco run and proceeded to pick games based on cities where he liked the bars.  Way to go Dierks.  Jennifer had a solid week at 7-4 while both Charley the Cat and Lee Corso both missed on the headgear pick, going with JMU over Richmond.

Week 7 2015: College picks are graded; results are in! #cfb #cfbpicks

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 7 was hyped as a big weekend in college football, and I would say it lived up to every bit of the hype and more.  We saw close games between ranked teams and one of the craziest finishes we’ve seen in the history of the sports.  Last week we had many close games which all fell the right way for our panel of expert predictors and prognosticators.  This week many of those close games fell the opposite way, and results this week were the roughest of this season.

Winners this week included solid performances from David Pollack (5-0), Tim Tebow (4-0), Paul Finebaum (5-1), Greg McElroy (4-0), Pat Forde (18-7), and Danny Kanell (10-3).  I enjoy kicking Mark May in the nuts as much as anyone, but he went 3-1 on the week so I give credit where it is due.  Ryen Russillo went 7-1 on the week, including a 3-0 performance against the spread as well.  However, our undisputed winner on the week was none other than Phil Steele at 12-1-1 (and 3-0-1 against the spread!).  He was the only one of our experts to somehow successfully navigate the Stanford-Alabama-Michigan State-LSU-Notre Dame-Oregon terrain.  When people tell me it is easy to pick straight up winners in this game, I ask them to look at a week like this.  Congratulations Phil; we are sending the trophy your way for this week.

Losers this week included Chris Fallica (6-11, 3-7 ATS), Scott Van Pelt (2-3 ATS), and Brad Edwards (3-4, 1-2 ATS), but unfortunately our official loss will go to Dari Nowkah, who went 0-5 on the week and 0-3 against the spread.  His five picks were bundled up together on three games total, so that’s tough to overcome when things go wrong.  Sorry Dari; better luck next week.

Our special guest celebrity Steve Spurrier went 4-6 on the week.  That’s a tough start to a career picking games for someone that we may be seeing on ESPN or Gameday more often in the future.  Jennifer had a tough week, but still booked a winner at 7-5 including an upset special going with Michigan State over Michigan in the Big House.  Lee Corso got his headgear pick wrong, continuing a pretty rough year for headgear picks.  Charley the cat also lost another one, so Charley and Corso stay even this week at 2-5 on the headgear games.

Week 6 2015: College picks are graded; results are in! #cfb

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 6 was a fun weekend of college football, but it seems like the games have already been overshadowed by an insane Monday where we had coaches fired, coaches retired, and players suspended among other stories.  It was a pretty good weekend for most of our expert predictors and prognosticators with a few experts falling behind the pack.  There were a handful of games which came down to the wire, and some of our results were razor thin between a dominating weekend and a disastrous weekend.

Big winners this week include Desmond Howard (12-2), Colin Cowherd (7-1), Jason Sehorn (8-2), Danny Kanell (7-3), Ryen Russillo (4-1, 2-1 ATS), Greg McElroy (5-0), and Paul Finebaum (5-1).  Our co-champs this week will be Kirk Herbstreit at 14-1 and Jennifer who put up a 13-1 record on the board.  Lots of good results this week, but those two blew the doors off of this week.

Those who lost ground this week include Brad Edwards (4-3, 1-2 ATS), Dari Nowkhah (0-2), Rece Davis (0-1), and David Pollack (5-4).  They can all share it this week since losers were hard to come by.

This week’s special guest celebrity John Stockton went 6-1, while Charley the cat went 0-1 picking Cal over Utah. Corso got off of his headgear losing streak picking Utah, so he pulls a game back closer to Charley the Cat in our race.  Check out the full slate of results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
