CFB – Industry Expert Consensus – September 5th

CFB DFS Picks September 5th

It’s CFB time! If you’re like me, you’ve been counting down the days for today. I know we had some games last week but Week 0 still kind of sucks. We’ll use last years final rankings to help our DO score but will recalibrate after we grade this week. We’ll also keep this first week free. Good luck!

The Weighted Consensus for CFB is where we publish an in-depth version of rankings every day that considers each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking.  To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. This method gives the higher rated experts picks more weight when compiling the overall player rankings for the day. For this 2025 CFB season, any player with a 5.0 DO Score is included in the Consensus. 

The CFB Weighted Consensus article will be part of the premium content this football season. Sign up now for a FREE 7-day trial so you don’t miss any of the content here at DailyOverlay.
