Week 14 2021: CFB Analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Week 14 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 won his headgear pick choosing Alabama to upset Georgia, and the coach went 4-4 on the week overall for a GDC Value of .022. Celebrity guest picker Zac Brown went 5-3 on the week with a GDC of 1.818. With the light slate of games and a couple of upsets we didn’t really have any huge GDC performances this week. Dennis Dodd takes home the crown this week going 7-3 straight up with a GDC of 3.847.

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.
