Week 12 2012: Grades are posted!
My oh my, what a Saturday we had. Flashbacks to the great 2007 season of massive upsets coming out of nowhere. Did anybody predict both #1 and #2 would both go down within the span of an hour? No actually. Lou Holtz (3-2) is the only one who went out on a limb and picked Stanford over Oregon, which is strange because that was a much more likely upset than Baylor over KState. Did anybody actually think unranked Baylor could topple #1 KState? Yes. Todd McShay’s (3-2) upset special was Baylor over KState, and Desmond Howard (6-3) also went with the Golden Bears to pull the upset. This week’s guest picker Braden Pape also took Baylor to win, and posted a record of 6-5, so he might be better at singing that picking games. Still, maybe the best guest picker of the entire year. Lee Corso went 8-4, missing his headgear pick of Oregon obviously. Big winner this week were Kirk Herbstreit at 11-2 and Mike Bellotti at 7-2. I had to pull out the red pen quite a bit, and losers this week include Mark May (1-4), Colin Cowherd (2-4), and Robert Smith (4-7). Everyone else finished in between, so check below for the full report card and see how your favorite or most hated personality did.
