Week 10 2021: CFB Analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 10 is in the books and the picks from our college football analysts are graded. We will once again be using our experimental GDC Value (Game Day Cole Value) to assign weight to specific teams and picks. Let’s jump right in.

Lee Corso barely escaped with a win on his headgear pick Cincinnati this week, and Corso went 11-4 overall on the week (6.551 GDC). Celebrity guest picker and former College Gameday correspondent Nick Lachey went 9-3 on his picks (5.732 GDC). We had a lot of strong performances this week. Other winners include Tom Fornelli (17-6, 9.873 GDC), @GamedayJen (13-4, 8.21 GDC) and Dennis Dodd (16-7, 7.959 GDC). However this week’s winner was Chip Patterson going 19-4 with a GDC value of 13.917. Congratulations to all competitors.

Everyone else is somewhere in the middle so be sure to check out the full results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.

***GDC is an aggregate computer rating applied to each team, whereby any specific pick can be assigned a positive/negative value based on the ratio of team ratings.
