2018-19 CFB Season: Mid-season grades!

Welcome back everyone.  We just completed week 9 of our 2018-19 college football season and that’s probably about halfway through the year.  I’m not really sure.  With a week 0, a single Army-Navy game in week 14, conference championship weekend, and bowl games, it is hard to tell.  So yeah, I’m calling it halfway.

Every year I like to stop down halfway through the season and post the season grades and standings.  The pressure is on down the home stretch to make big moves picking games since I assume all of these people read my blog.  Here’s the mid-season grades.  Enjoy.

2016-17 Regular Season standings!

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!
