Week 5 of our 2015 college football season provided exciting matchups and exciting results from our expert panel of predictors and prognosticators.  It was a tough schedule to predict, and we had a few bright spots along with a few blemishes.

Big winners this week include Robert Smith (4-1), Pat Forde (17-4), Jon Berger (4-0), Greg McElroy (4-1), Brad Edwards (5-1), while our big winner on the week was Dari Nowkhah (6-1, 2-0 ATS).  Dari can proudly say he nailed the Illinois over Nebraska upset and picked Arkansas, which went against most of our experts.  Way to go Dari!  Now we just need you back on CFB Daily; please and thanks.

Big losers this week include Trevor Matich (5-6, 0-2 ATS), Tim Tebow’s first appearance in the loser column (2-3), Marcus spears riding along side him (2-3), Clint Stoerner (2-3) even though he called for both Florida and Arkansas to win, Chris Doering (2-4), Charles Arbuckle (3-5), Stanford Steve Coughlin (5-5-1, 3-2-1 ATS), Scott Van Pelt (2-3 ATS), and I have to include Mark May at 2-2 just to post my new favorite picture.

Rece Davis wanted to get his two big upsets on the record for some reason, and as a result went 0-2 picking WVU and SMU to win.  Our official loss will go to David Pollack, who had a rough day going 2-5 on Saturday.

Lee Corso continues his downturn with his Notre Dame headgear pick, going on an 0-4 streak for the first time in 13 years.  Our special guest celebrity picker Jim Cantore of the weather channel put up a respectable 5-3.  Corso went 8-4 on the week, while Herbie came in at 8-6 and Desmond Howard went 7-6.  Jennifer booked a winner this week going  9-3, while Charley the Cat also took a loss by picking Notre Dame.

Everyone else is somewhere in the middle of all of this muck, so check out the full slate of results below to find out how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this week!
