NCAA Football - Week 5 Predictions

Ringer's Record
Last Week ATS: 10-9
Last Week SU: 17-2

Season ATS: 36-49 (42%)
Season SU: 73-12 (86%)

It looks like I may finally be headed in the right direction. It wasn't a spectacular week, but I did have a winning record ATS at 10-9. There were plenty of fireworks last week as 4 games featured Top 25 matchups. I went 2-2 in those 4 games. This week's schedule doesn't bring as much excitement, but it is nice to see most conferences start conference play. This week's biggest matchup takes place in the struggling Big Ten. Ohio State heads to East Lansing to take on Michigan State. The Buckeyes are just 1 of 3 undefeated teams remaining in the Big Ten. Since they are ineligible for postseason play, I've also made them ineligible for the Ringer Poll. Michigan State is the highest ranked Big Ten team in this week's poll. Here is how I expect Week 4 of the college football season to unfold. (Rankings based on the Ringer Poll)
