Week 8 2021: CFB Analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on October 25, 2021October 24, 2021 by gamedaycole

Week 8 is in the books and the picks from our expert panel of college football analysts are graded. Once again we will be using our experimental GDC Value (Game Day Cole Value) to weight picks.

Lee Corso went 6-5 on the week but missed on his headgear pick of UCLA over Oregon. Celebrity guest picker Bill Walton went 5-6 but put on an amazing performance on the show itself. Winners this week included Tom Fornelli (14-5, 7.755 GDC), Brady Quinn (11-3, 6.886 GDC) and Lou Holtz/Mark May (both 7-0, 6.763 GDC). This week’s winner is David Hale for going 11-2 with a GDC value of 8.471.

Everyone else is somewhere in between, so be sure to 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.
