2021-22 Season: Full season grades are finalized! Results are in!

The 2021-22 season is in the books and the picks have been graded. It is now time to crown our yearly champions.  We will be crowning two champions again this year; one champion being analysts picking games straight up and the other champion being our gambling champion. Our analyst champion will be graded on our experimental GDC grading system for the first time ever.

Without further adieu, I present to you our analyst champion for the 2021-22 season: Dennis Dodd from CBS Sports went 226-81 straight up for a percentage of 73.62% with a GDC value of 127.083! Runners up were Tom Fornelli (111.37 GDC) and Chip Patterson (100.883 GDC). That’s an all CBS Sports podium for the first time ever.

Our gambling champion for the 2021-22 season is Bud Elliott of 247 and Cover 3 podcast fame. He went 272-198-9 on the season for a win percentage of 57.87%! Several others had a higher win rate, but assuming -110 lines on average Bud Elliott absolutely crushed the competition for 49.28 units of profit this season.

Honorable mention goes to Kelly Stewart for winning our money line picks this year. She was up 25.14 units over 41 picks on the year.

Congratulations to all competitors. I hope you’ll all be back next season

Week 14 2021: CFB Analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Week 14 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 won his headgear pick choosing Alabama to upset Georgia, and the coach went 4-4 on the week overall for a GDC Value of .022. Celebrity guest picker Zac Brown went 5-3 on the week with a GDC of 1.818. With the light slate of games and a couple of upsets we didn’t really have any huge GDC performances this week. Dennis Dodd takes home the crown this week going 7-3 straight up with a GDC of 3.847.

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.
