Week 14 2024: CFB analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Rivalry week was brought chaos and tremendous results both on the field and grading picks here at gamedaycole.com. The picks from our analysts (straight up, not against the spread) are graded, so let’s jump right in.

Winners this week included Tim Tebow and Paul Finebaum with their SEC Nation picks. Shehan Jeyarajah from CBS Sports had a great week picking the top 25 games on cbssports.com. However I’m awarding this week’s big win to @GamedayJen for going 10-1 on her picks this week. She’s been lingering behind the scenes waiting to strike, and she put up a big winning week when it matters most.

Lee Corso, Desmond Howard, and Nick Saban all went 9-2 on College Gameday. Kirk Herbstreit went 8-2, having not made a pick in the Texas/Texas A&M game. Pat McAfee went 7-4 on Gameday. Celebrity guest pickers Dude Perfect went 7-4 to match McAfee. Corso won with his headgear selection of Texas over Texas A&M, continuing a great year of headgear picks (9-3 this season).

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