Week 4 2021: CFB Analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on September 27, 2021September 6, 2022 by gamedaycole

Week 4 is in the books and the picks from our 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 went 6-5 on the week but managed to nail his headgear pick going with Notre Dame over Wisconsin. Winners this week include Kirk Herbstreit and Danica Patrick at 8-3, Desmond Howard at 8-4, and Steve Coughlin at 5-2. However, this week’s undisputed winner was @GamedayJen going 11-1 straight up with a total GDC value of 8.809.

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.
