Desmond Howard ruthlessly trolled on social media after national title game pick loses

Desmond Howard raised some eyebrows with his College Football Playoff picks before the season, and now those projections have crashed and burned as Week 2 wraps up.

The ESPN “College GameDay” analyst picked Texas A&M, Pittsburgh, Michigan and Baylor to make the Playoff, with the Aggies and Wolverines in the national title game.

After the Texas A&M Aggies fell to Appalachian State, not to mention Pitt struggling with Tennessee, Howard’s picks had an especially tough week.

Here’s a sampling of the reactions:

But Desmond Howard told me Texas A&M was going to the playoff..
