Have any pundits admitted that they were wrong re: OB Picks?
Jan 2, 2016, 1:14 PM

It seemed like 80-90% were picking us to lose, but the narrative has shifted to Oklahoma just not being very good, not that Clemson was just that much better.

for saying they always picked Clemson to lose. Which they do ALWAYS pick us to lose in big games. So they didn't admit anything, just became more arrogant

Why would they admit they were wrong. It doesn't matter if they screw up, they still get paid and will still pick games.

they have all moved on to there is no way we can beat Alabama. They have essentially doubled down.

At this point, wouldn't it at the very least be called 'octupling' down?
I'm not even sure that's a word, but that double down bet went bust a looooooooong time ago.
Somebody kick them out of the casino.

Been that way all year a team gets hyped then we beat them
Jan 2, 2016, 1:18 PM
|

then they weren't that good.
Such revisionist history. MOST pundits were saying OU was the OSU of this year who was hot at the right time and dangerous and could win it all.

Well they pick probably a hundred games a year

and miss about a quarter to a third. I'm not sure why they should apologize when they are wrong. Some need to eat crow for their comments but some said it was going to be close and picked wrong.

There's a difference between "being wrong" and being total

jacka$$ ... the TV weatherman is wrong a lot, but he is almost never a jacka$$ when he makes his expert predictions.
Kirk Herbstreit and David Pollack are wrong quite often, but not jacka$$es ... Mark Maye, Lou Holtz, and several others are.
All these guys on Fox fit the bill.

Sports who played QB at So Cal (I can't think of his name but it's very Greek) who said OU would win by 3 TDs and send Clemson home "embarrassed" or something to that effect. He had the point differential right...

No this guy--played in the 90s: Petros Papadakis

He was actually a RB, not a QB.
Dude has a pretty punchable face doesn't he?

If being a college football analyst doesn't work out for him he could easily transition into a used car salesman with a face and hairdo like that.

not sure what they were thinking
Jan 2, 2016, 1:26 PM

We hadn't lost all year; we were the #1 team with victories over several top 10 teams; and we beat the #### out of Oklahoma last year. I didn't understand everyone picking them.

Except for Brady Quinn, they all sang the same song again
Jan 2, 2016, 1:39 PM

this week. And even Quinn made a snarky comment about Shaq Lawson's intelligence.
Papadakis was just as obnoxious as last week. But then again, I think he just may have been born obnoxious. If not, he was a quick learner.

Pollack did. Made fun of himself for picking against Clemson
Jan 2, 2016, 2:44 PM

On Twitter. Called himself a moron basically for thinking Cains loss would lead to the Tigers losing.
So, props to him.
