let’s review how he did.

His Gameday picks:

Kent State - L
App State - L
San Diego St - L
Wake Forest - L
Cincinnati - W
Oklahoma State - L
Michigan - W
UGA - L

A solid 2-6 for the guy most consider to be the country’s college football expert.

He’s human. Everyone has off days even the best. Do you think Babe Ruth sucked at baseball because he didn’t hit a home run or bat .750 every game?

comparing hitting someone's homerun rate in Professional baseball to picking games between two teams is idiotic.

The "so call experts" are just that ..so called.

Same way in basketball.. my ESPN bracket has been better than Jay Bilas for like 7 years in a row.

I pay no attention to the Herbs, the Galloways, Pollacks , McElroy of the world

These guys know more about x's and o's than most of us but when it comes to picking games they aren't any better. I'm sure I know much more about Alabama than Herbstreit does because I spend more time watching them than he does.

Well yeah, it’s championship Saturday. On paper the most difficult day to pick winners.

With that said, I feel like the Gameday pickers job isn’t to be correct. It’s to sell you on the games.

A lot of these guys make contrary picks just for entertainment purposes. Would be pretty boring for a panel to all pick chalk, even though that's statistically the best play.

He must be an idiot - not being able to predict the future accurately and all.

Finebaum this morning chastized BAMA fans about not being satisfied with all the Yo-Yoing going on this season.

Like he hasn't made it the theme of his show all season.

There are no real sports experts, only opinions.

I used to like Herby but when he cried on live TV my opinion has changed. College gameday isn't what it used to be also. I used to wake up every Saturday for it but now I don't care.

This. It’s especially true amongst the college sports media.

Finebaum is an absolute idiot when it comes to talking about the actual sport of football.
