The week 1 picks from our college football analysts are graded. Let’s jump right in.
Winners this week include Dennis Dodd, Tom Fornelli and Bruce Feldman. However, the biggest winner of the week was Chip Patterson going 21-4 straight up with a GDC value of 13.667. Congratulations to Chip on the big win this week.
Lee Corso had a great week going 10-2 including a win with his headgear pick North Carolina over South Carolina. Gameday’s celebrity guest Darius Rucker went 6-6 on the week. @GamedayJen went 8-6 on the week. I have to give props to Pat McAfee and Randy Cross for being the only analysts I track who picked Colorado over TCU for a big upset.
