The panel consists of 18 college football experts who either write for College Football News or for one of the 24 USA TODAY Sports college wire sites. There is then a 19th pick for each contest that belongs to a chicken.
Well, not really a chicken but it is done by coin flip but it gets marked as a pick by “Clucko the Chicken” all season.
Here is how those 18 experts and one chicken (or coin flip) have this going. Again, the line as of this posting on College Football News was at Ohio State minus-14.5.:
- 18 picks for Ohio State to win the game outright, the only one who didn’t pick it was the aforementioned chicken/coin-toss.
- Myself and Ethan Niewoehner of CFN were the only two humans to pick Notre Dame to cover the 14.5-point spread.
I really hope that chicken is right in a dozen or so days. I’ll gladly go up and shake his … wing.
See all the picks by the CFN experts for Week 1 here.
