Week 5 2014: Picks are graded, results are in! #saturdayselections
Week 5 picks are in. We have some impressive performances this week from our expert pickers, even though a handful of those picks were correct on razor thin margins thanks to a few near-upsets and some great games. Winners this week include Lee Corso (9-2), Kevin Carter (10-2), Brian Griese (5-1) and Colin Cowherd (8-1). However, our undisputed champion of the week is none other than Phil Steele, who blew the roof off of this thing going 15-0 on the week. Truly one of the greatest performances we have seen on this blog. Our only real loser this week was Mack Brown (2-3), who is off to a pretty rough start in his career as a football prognosticator.
Lee Corso lost his first headgear pick of the year, going with South Carolina over Mizzou. Our special guest celebrity picker, Kenny Chesney, went 5-4 on the week, bringing his lifetime record to 16-12 from three appearances on the show. Tim Tebow only went 4-1 this week, and it only took him five weeks of picking games to get one wrong. His 18-1 record has been tarnished for all time. Jennifer is getting back on track with a 10-5 week this week, and Charley the Cat also missed the headgear pick going with South Carolina. She currently stands one game behind Corso on the year.
