2009 Week 5 College Football Predictions

Here are my computer's predictions for week 5 of the college football season.  These also appear, and the current predictions always will, at http://sites.google.com/site/computerratings/ncaa-football/ncaa-predictions.  And see http://sites.google.com/site/computerratings/ncaa-football/ncaa-prediction-performance for the historical performance of the picks.

These predictions are based on the week 4 ratings so there are 4 games for many teams and as we saw from last weeks performance, they have gotten more accurate.  A blog post with commentary on the interesting games should come later this week.
