I know you're being facetious but each game gets assigned two analysts plus a senior analyst. Some of this information may be outdated, so take it with a grain of salt. When I was familiar with their process, the analysts were part-time, seasonal, low paid ($50-ish per game) individuals churning through games. They were not football people. It was common to have college students doing it for a little extra cash. If the analysts had a large gap in their play grade, > 0.5 points, the senior analyst came in and decided. Otherwise, the grades were published. The senior analyst did conduct a review afterwards which is why some grades change after a few days.
They churn through analysts like no ones business, and these guys aren't much more knowledgeable than the average fan. This is why they aren't taken very seriously. Fans love it, though.
