Week 3 2021: Analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Week 3 is in the books and the picks from our expert panel of analysts have been graded. Once again, we will be using our experimental GDC Value (Game Day Cole Value) to weight picks and assign value.

Lee Corso won his headgear pick going with Penn State over Auburn, and booked an 8-4 (3.55 GDC) record overall. Celebrity guest Saquon Barkley went 6-6 (.008 GDC) on the week. Brady Quinn went 11-1 (7.63 GDC) on the week picking games straight up, but he was nudged out by @GamedayJen going 11-2 on the week posting a strong 8.13 GDC Value on her picks.

Congratulations to all competitors this week. Check out the full slate of results below 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.
