Week 14 2017: #CFB Picks for Championship Week from Stanford Steve!

Here’s the picks from Stanford Steve for championship week.  I don’t think the UCF/Memphis over was an official pick, but he seemed pretty enthusiastic about the number of points scored in this game, so I added it to the list.  Listen to the whole podcast for all of the juicy details.

Auburn-2.5 vs Georgia
Miami FL+9.5 vs Clemson
USC-3.5 vs Stanford
TCU+7 vs OU (TCU wins outright)
Ohio St-6.5 vs Wisconsin (if he had to pick it)
UCF vs Memphis over 83ish (the winning team puts up at least 50!)

Week 14 2017: Conference Championship picks from Phil Steele!

Welcome back everyone and thanks for joining us.  Today Phil Steele dropped his Strong as Steele podcast as he does every week, and we have the picks here.  I do say Phil had a little bit of a cough and seemed under the weather today.  His Louisiana/App State pick and Boise State/Fresno State pick were both all over the road so I’ve included my assessment of those at the bottom of the picks.  Do what you would like with those picks, and listen to the podcast if you really need to try and navigate his picks on those games.

USC over Stanford (by about 10)
Toledo over Akron (by 17)
OU over TCU (something like 38-27)
Auburn over Georgia (by a TD)
Ohio St over Wisconsin (by 7, no play)
FAU over UNT
Arkansas St over Troy
UCF over Memphis (Memphis keeps it closer than expected)
Georgia Southern over Coastal Carolina (by 3, on the number)
NM St over South Alabama
UMass over FIU
USC-3.5 vs Stanford
Akron+21.5 vs Toledo
Miami FL+9.5 vs Clemson (he said it’ll get to 10, so wait for 10)
OU-7 vs TCU
Auburn-2.5 vs Georgia
UCF vs Memphis over 83
Memphis+7.5 vs UCF
Idaho+6.5 vs Georgia St
Louisiana+15 vs App St
UMass+1.5 vs FIU
UL-Monroe+27 vs FSU

Picks I couldn’t figure out after multiple re-listens.  I will sort this out when his ESPN Chalk column drops tomorrow.
App St to beat Louisiana (he said something like 36-20, but he expects them to keep it “closer than the 14”)
Louisiana+15 vs App St (Phil said he likes UL-Monroe getting over 2 TDs, the line was 15 most places when the podcast dropped)
Boise St+8.5 vs Fresno St (Phil said Boise St wins by “only 3” but I think he meant Fresno St, either way he’s taking the points)

Week 14 2016: #ChampionshipWeek #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Week 14 is in the books and that means results are in.  With one (very small) week of Gameday left in the regular season, the race for the championship is tightening.  Let’s get right to it.

Winners this week included Lee Corso (6-3), Kirk Herbstreit (6-2), Charles Arbuckle (8-2), Colin Cowherd (4-0), Stanford Steve (3-0 straight up, 4-0 ATS), Chris Fallica (3-1 straight up, 5-2 ATS), Bruce Feldman (8-1 straight up, 5-4 ATS), Pat Forde (8-1 straight up, 2-0 ATS), Joey Galloway (4-0), Mike Golic (5-0), Kanell (5-0 straight up, 3-2 ATS), and your boy SVP (4-1 ATS), and Phil Steele (12-1 straight up, 11-10 ATS).  Our winner this week is going to be Pat Forde because it was hard to make sense of that many winners.

Losers this week were few and far between.  Our one and only big loser was Desmond Howard at 4-5 on the week.  Congratulations Desmond.  Those upsets didn’t pan out quite like you thought.

Coach Corso misses his headgear pick of Wisconsin over Penn St, bringing him to 9-6 on the year.  Our special guest celebrity Keegan-Michael Key went 8-1 on the week which I think ties him for the season high amongst celebrities.  @GamedayJen continues her hot streak going 7-2 on the week, so make sure to check her out for winners.

Everyone else is somewhere in between so check out the full slate of results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
