Week 1 2013: Results are up, grades are posted!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 1 results are in and grades are posted.  Big weeks all around with nobody having a losing record (aside from a few 0-1 records).  Hard to pick a winner because of some really solid picks, but those in the running include Lee Corso (9-2), Dari Nowkhah at 11-2, and Colin Cowherd at 9-1.  However we will give this week’s win to Pat Forde who went 27-4 on his Yahoo picks.  Congratulations Pat; the certificate and coupon for a free taco is in the mail.  Since I have to award a loser, Kirk Herbstreit will take it at 10-4 especially for his upset picks of Vandy over Ole Miss, Toledo over Florida, and La Lafayette over Arkansas.  That’s a tough one pal.  Billy the Cat and Lee Corso both got Georgia over Clemson wrong, so they are tied on the year at 0-1.

2012 Regular Season Standings

Posted on 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)
Michael Smith: 100% (4-0)
Tom Luginbill: 80.00% (52-13)
Matt Stinchcomb: 80.00% (12-3)
Ryen Russillo: 77.27% (17-5)
Pat Forde: 75.84% (292-93)
Lou Holtz: 75.00% (45-15)
Brock Huard: 75.00% (3-1)
Colin Cowherd: 74.76% (77-26)
Mike Bellotti: 73.75% (59-21)

Week 14 2012: Results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid we have come to a close for the regular season.  It’ll be alright though, because that means it is bowl season.  It is only Monday after week 14, but some of our experts are already throwing out bowl predictions on ESPN.  These picks may change, and as always we will be officially tracking their latest picks, but its still exciting if you’re me.  I’ll be tallying up the regular season results to post sometime this week so we can see where everyone stands.  With that knowledge we will know who are contenders for the 2012 championship here at Cole’s Gameday Blog, and we will also be able to keep an eye on who will finish at the bottom of the barrel.

Anyways, week 14’s results are in.  It was a light schedule, so it was a little lighter on picks than usual.  This week’s big winner is Dari Nowkhah at 9-1, with other winning performances coming from Lee Corso (10-2), Desmond Howard (6-1), Pat Forde (14-4), and Mark May making a rare appearance at 5-1.  Losers this week are Herbie (6-4), Lou Holtz (2-2), Christian Fauria (1-2) and Mark Schlabach (1-2).  Special guest picker Matt Ryan went 6-4.  Lee Corso also nailed his headgear pick going with Bama over Georgia.  The rest you can see below, so look and see how your favorite/most hated personality did this week.
