Week 9 2021: CFB Analyst picks are graded; results are in!
Week 9 is in the books and our college football analyst picks are graded. Once again we will be using our experimental GDC Value (Game Day Cole Value) to assign value to picks for grading.
Lee Corso missed his headgear pick Michigan and went 5-5 overall on the week (-0.18 GDC). Celebrity guest Ken Jeong went 6-4 on the week (+1.86 GDC). Winners this week included Chip Patterson (14-5, 8.134 GDC), Dennis Dodd (14-5, 8.118 GDC), and Brian Jones (8-1, 6.77 GDC). However this week’s undisputed winner is Danny Kanell who blew everyone away going 13-0 on straight up picks for a GDC Value of 12.314.
Everyone else is somewhere below so check out the full slate of results 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.
