Week 14 results

Posted on by gamedaycole

Well guys, the last week of the regular season (short of the confusing Army-Navy game next Saturday) had high stakes and huge bowl implications in most of these games. I am going to call this Slam Dunk Saturday because across the board everyone had super high winning percentages this week. Basically if you picked the trendy pick, you were right. Auburn, Oregon, OU, UConn, VaTech, USC, and Pitt all won as expected. The only reason anyone missed out on some picks were if you had the balls to call an upset (Lee Corso) or if you’re a massive homer for South Carolina (Hi Lou Holtz).

I’ve graded the day below and want to congratulate Oklahoma’s opponent in the Fiesta Bowl because nobody is more overrated in bowl games than Bob Stoops.

Desmond Howard knocked it out of the park with a perfect week, and Mike Bellotti has dethroned Colin Cowherd for the all time lead at the moment. Those guys from the Experts on ESPNU know their stuff apparently.

Friday update

Posted on by gamedaycole

A few quick notes. I’m probably going to put up an ESPNU page to host David Pollack, Tom Luginbill, and this week’s newest addition Coach Mike Bellotti from ESPNU’s “The Experts”. They’re kinda of their own little world and not as widely known so I’ll probably stick them on a page together.

I’m considering adding the guys from Around the Horn to this site but that would be a huge undertaking. Haven’t decided yet.

I’m considering voiding Trevor Matich’s pick in the Iron Bowl last week as well. The week before on College Gameday radio I believe he called for a Bama upset. Then on College Football Live last week he called an Auburn win unless I’m crazy. On 1st and 10 today he was on, and Skip said “You and I both picked Alabama last week”. So WTF? Not really sure what to do.

Going to be a big weekend full of picks and as usual things will be graded and updated Sunday. Here’s a few picks in the meantime.

David Pollack:
Oregon over Cal, wk11
Auburn over Bama, wk13
Oregon over OregSt

Tom Luginbill:
LOSS Bama over Florida, 12/6/2008
Oregon over Cal, wk11
UConn over USF
VaTech over FSU
OU over Nebraska
Auburn over S.Car

Coach Mike
UConn over USF

Trevor Matich:

Oregon over OregSt

Week 11, 2010 Results

Posted on by gamedaycole

Here’s the slate from Week 11, 2010. Individual pages and overall standings are being updated. We’re welcoming Skip Bayless to the group and would like to give a big shoutout to Rick at the Reverse Bayless gambling system blog. You can find him at http://reversebaylessgambling.blogspot.com/. He is a true American hero as he fades Skip Bayless’ predictions each week and backs them up with his own hard cash.

As for this week, Desmond Howard finally had a monster week only picking one game wrong. Skip also had a pretty good week picking straight up (although Rick is still profiting nicely betting against the spread fading Skip). Corso and Herbstreit had solid weeks, and Derek Poundstone had an average week. Here’s the actual breakdown:
