Week 1 2012: SATURDAY MORNING IS HERE!

Posted on September 1, 2012 by gamedaycole

Things are officially up and running here at our compound this morning. We’ve got the energy drinks cracked, the dual TVs running with Notre Dame/Navy on the bottom screen and College Gameday on the main screen. As the picks roll in we will be updating things live in this post, so check back often for updates to THIS post. If you’re anything like me, you tossed and turned all night like a little kid on the night before Christmas; so incredibly excited to see what Santa Corso will bring us this year! While we wait for the picks to come in this morning, please enjoy the following video which is an accurate representation of how my morning has gone so far.

Week 1 2012: Friday night picks

Posted on August 31, 2012 by gamedaycole

Well ladies and gents, the picks are rolling in as I continue to play catch-up on this Friday night. As I sit here sipping on a rum and coke, we have put together an updated spread of predictions for you below. You can see the early week picks HERE if you want to see what has already been picked this week. Of particular note is the fact that as of the end of our business day here on Friday night, the predictions for this week’s big game are in favor of Bama over Michigan at a staggering 15 to ZERO. Not one of our experts so far has picked Michigan to knock off the reigning champs. About the best you’ve heard this week if you’re rooting for the Wolverines is Todd McShay saying something non-committal like “Michigan has a chance to upset, just not much of a chance” on today’s podcast with Ivan Maisel. For anyone that cares what Bill Plaschke thinks, he also said Michigan has a chance to upset on Around the Horn this afternoon, but I couldn’t really tell if he was calling for the upset or just trolling the rest of the panel for picking Bama. Take it for what you will. We’ll be back first thing in the morning with the REAL picks from the Gameday crew, so until then enjoy your evening.

Jason Sehorn:
NC St over Tennessee

Week 1 2012: Early picks

Posted on August 28, 2012 by gamedaycole

The week 1 picks are slowly trickling in folks. The Gameday preseason predictions brought us some Penn St predictions from the Gameday crew. College Football Daily has brought us a good bit from Dari Nowkhah (who it appears will be joining us full time this season on my blog), Coach Mike Bellotti, and Tom Luginbill. In addition, today on the Herd, Colin Cowherd broke down Bama/Michigan with Scott Van Pelt and Ryen Russillo. The trends so far seem to be a lot of love for Bama, none for Michigan, and everyone piling on NC St to beat the favored Tennessee Vols. We’ll be back soon with more as they keep rolling in.
