Tracking Lee Corso’s ‘College GameDay’ picks became a heady ‘obsession’ for this fan

Cole Reagan, 37, is an IT systems administrator from Dallas. He helped ESPN's "College GameDay" producer to verify the guest picker statistics of Alex Rodriguez, who was the show's top pick in its history. Lee Corso, 85, was a guest on the pregame show. Clemson beat Miami 42-17. Cole's blog is dedicated to his college football picks and predictions. It's been maintained for 13 years. The blog has tabs dedicated for him and the other Gameday pickers. His blog also has a blog with data of other college sports analysts.

Lee Corso's headgear picks have become an established part of college football lore. Reagan has been tracking Cor so's picks since he started watching GameDay. He and SMU students created a model to project which teams Cor So would pick on any given week. The model was based on the Vegas point spread. Coro's opinion has had important sway in shaping opinion during the BCS era and beyond. The app no longer works. It is not the official record. There are some discrepancies between the model and the record kept by ESPN. Some of that could be due to ESPN not tracking bowl game predictions.
