Week 2 2021: Analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on September 13, 2021 by gamedaycole

Week 2 is in the books and our straight-up picks from our panel of assorted analysts are graded. Once again we will be experimenting with GDC Value (Game Day Cole Value) as an indicator of “value” for each pick or prediction.

Lee Corso won his headgear prediction going with Iowa over Iowa State. Corso went 5-6 overall on the week. Special guest celebrity Ashton Kutcher went 6-5 on the week, fading most of Corso’s picks. @GamedayJen booked a 7-6 record on the week. This week’s winner is going to be David Hale who booked a 14-4 record with a beefy 6.549 GDC rating on his picks.

Congratulations to all competiors. Check out the full slate of 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.
