Week 5 Top 25+ Rankings and Picks

Another week and another four loss performance. I was close on some of the games, two went against me (Fresno State v Boise St. and Notre Dame v Michigan State) and one went for me at the literal last minute (Michigan v UConn). Official Week 4 was 20 -4 (.833) bringing the season count to 67-12 (.848). Not too terrible. With this upcoming week's games where several ranked teams play each other there is the possibility that record might take a hit, but I feel pretty confident about most of these picks. We'll see if that pays off next week.
