Week 12 2021: CFB Analyst picks are graded; results are in!
Week 12 is in the books and the picks from our expert panel of college football analysts are graded. We will once again be using our experimental GDC Value (Game Day Cole Value) to weight individual picks.
Lee Corso got his headgear pick right choosing Ohio State over Michigan State. Coach Corso went 8-2 overall on the week with a GDC value of 5.704. @GamedayJEn went 8-2 on her picks as well with a slightly higher 5.848 GDC. Celebrity guest pickers Twenty One Pilots went 7-3 with a GDC of 3.88. Other winners this week included Dennis Dodd (20-2, 16.444 GDC), Brady Quinn (15-1, 12.99 GDC) and Pat Forde (13-3, 9.73 GDC). However this week’s official winner was an extremely right race with Chip Patterson going 21-2 with a GDC of 17.329 barely edging out Tom Fornelli at 22-3 with a GDC of 17.225. That is two of the highest GDC weekly values we have seen this season! Congratulations to both of you but Chip gets the official win in the record books.
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.
