Week 5 2023: CFB analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Week 5 of our college football season is in the books and the picks from our analysts are graded. Let’s jump right in.

Winners this week include Josh Pate, Danny Kanell and Stewart Mandell but I’m giving it to our boy Tom Fornelli for going 18-1 picking games this week.

Lee Corso went 6-5 on the week including a win on his headgear pick going with Notre Dame over Duke. He’s riding a five game winning streak so things are getting exciting. Celebrity guest picker Ken Jeong also went 6-5 on the week.

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

Week 9 2021: CFB Analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Week 9 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 missed his headgear pick Michigan and went 5-5 overall on the week (-0.18 GDC). Celebrity guest Ken Jeong went 6-4 on the week (+1.86 GDC). Winners this week included Chip Patterson (14-5, 8.134 GDC), Dennis Dodd (14-5, 8.118 GDC), and Brian Jones (8-1, 6.77 GDC). However this week’s undisputed winner is Danny Kanell who blew everyone away going 13-0 on straight up picks for a GDC Value of 12.314.

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.
