Week 3 2022: CFB Analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on September 19, 2022September 19, 2022 by gamedaycole

Week 3 of our college football season is in the books and the picks from our analysts have been graded. Let’s get right to it.

Winners this week include Chip Patterson (21-3, 14.746 GDC), Dennis Dodd (20-3, 13.91 GDC), Ross Dellenger (13-2, 10.075 GDC), and Brady Quinn (9-0, 8.014 GDC). However this week’s official winner, for the second time this season, is Tom Fornelli at 22-1 with a GDC value of 17.81. Congratulations Tom, and I hope you continue your historic season.

Lee Corso went 8-5 (GDC 2.499) on the week including a nail biting win with his headgear pick Appalachian State. Celebrity guest Luke Combs went 6-6 (GDC .082) on the week despite being one of the rare guests who actually care about the sport and their appearance on the show. @GamedayJen booked a winner at 11-4 with a GDC of 6.089.

Everyone else is somewhere in between so check out the full slate of results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week.
