Prediction Standings After Week 5
Just like in week four, a number of us predicted incorrectly. Close to half of you chose Penn State to win and picked up a win. Only three participants undefeated at 5-0 (tonyjb37, blmillini, and mvillini). With seven games left, anything can happen. Illinois might pull off an upset somewhere down the road, and the person who correctly picks that game might have the upperhand. Here's how things look after week 5. Illinois lost 35-7 on Saturday, so it was Penn State +28 in the real game spread. Let's take a look...

STANDINGS CORRECTION:
Add another guy to the top at 5-0. Worra_89 is also 5-0 but for whatever reason I forgot to credit him with a win. His RSDT is correct at 59 though, which means he is actually in first after last week week. The change will be seen when next week's standings come out. I apologize.
