Hall of Fame - Best Picks Ever

The Hall of Fame celebrates all the outstanding picks of 3 points or less:

Worst Combined Performance

The appalling 3-35 lost to Boston College in 2017 caused the all time worst performance by the Contestants. They scored an average of 55.125.

In second place, the 9-41 thrashing by North Carolina in 2001 shocked the world and shocked our contestants. The average score for the five predictors was 53.2 points.

Similarly, in third place, the 0-30 shutout by Wake Forest in 2006 stunned the panel with an average score of 52.3.

In fourth place, the 10-59 woodshed whipping in 2018 at the hands of Clemson scored an average score of exactly 50.0 points.

In fifth place, the historically crushing 20-63 loss to Louisville in 2016 astounded the Contestants to the tune of 49.75 points each.

Wire to Wire!

Oddly enough, despite the competitive nature of the contest, there have been four years where one contestant held the lead from the first to the last week, going wire to wire. They are:

That Backstabbin' Dave Berry

On two other occasions, contestants flirted with near wire to wire runs. In 1993, Chuck led from the first week to the second to last week. In 1999, the first year of the plaque, Mark led from the second week to the second to last week. Both years, the championship was snatched away on the final week by an outstanding pick for the FSU-UF game by... Dave Berry.
