Week 2 2021: Analyst picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on September 13, 2021 by gamedaycole

Week 2 is in the books and our straight-up picks from our panel of assorted analysts are graded. Once again we will be experimenting with GDC Value (Game Day Cole Value) as an indicator of “value” for each pick or prediction.

Lee Corso won his headgear prediction going with Iowa over Iowa State. Corso went 5-6 overall on the week. Special guest celebrity Ashton Kutcher went 6-5 on the week, fading most of Corso’s picks. @GamedayJen booked a 7-6 record on the week. This week’s winner is going to be David Hale who booked a 14-4 record with a beefy 6.549 GDC rating on his picks.

Congratulations to all competiors. 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.

Week 1 2021: CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Posted on September 8, 2021 by gamedaycole

With week 1 in the books I already posted the results of the gambling picks for the week. As part of my new experiment to implement a weighted grading system on straight-up picks, I will be separating the gambling results and straight-up results in their own weekly posts. The new weighted grading system is what I will refer to as “GDC Value” for Game Day Cole Value. It is an aggregate computer rating applied to each team, where relative values are compared to apply a value to specific wins or losses.

Back to the grades, we had a lot of upsets this week. Lee Corso won his headgear pick of Georgia over Clemson, going 12-5 overall. Celebrity guest Kane Brown went 11-6 on the week. @GamedayJen went 10-7 on the week. However this week’s undisputed winner was Desmond Howard, who went 14-3 on the week with a GDC value of 8.851. I don’t know what that actually means because its the first week we’ve ever used GDC value, but he had the highest value on the week. Congratulations to Desmond Howard and all competitors.
