Week 14: Championship week results

Posted on December 4, 2011 by gamedaycole

Here’s the results from Week 14 of the 2011 season. Quite a few mediocre weeks with Southern Miss upsetting Houston and VaTech upsetting Clemson. Our winners this week were Jesse Palmer (4-1) and David Pollack going 7-1. David Pollack was the only person who picked Southern Miss over Houston, and he also nailed two tough ones in Baylor over Texas and Okla St over Oklahoma. Robert Smith is this week’s loser going 2-3. Robert, unfortunately you can’t just pick the favorite in every game and win. I’ll be posting our regular season overall records soon so everyone can see where we stand. But now we’re entering Bowl Season, where legends are made and dreams are shattered. Look forward to big slates of picks from all of our experts and check back often to see who is picking what games, and to see who you should be following.
