There is a new Pigskin Pickers leader in the clubhouse going into the college football bowl season.
Reporter Mac Cordell won six of last week’s eight games and has now taken the overall lead.
Cordell stands at 87-39 for the season.
He was tied last week for the top with publisher Kevin Behrens and sports editor Tim Miller at 81-37.
Miller and Behrens slipped to 4-4 for the week.
They are now tied for second place, two games back of Cordell at 85-41.
Managing editor Chad Williamson was the only Picker to choose Michigan over Ohio State.
That helped him to a 5-3 record for the week.
He has an 80-46 mark for the season.
Sports reporter Aleksei Pavloff also posted a 4-4 record.
He stands at 50-34 at the end of the regular season.
The bowl edition of the Pickers will be published in the middle of this month.
