CFN Staff Picks - Week Five (ACC-CUSA)

CollegeFootballNews.com
Posted Sep 27, 2007

Picks and predictions for every game ... ACC through Conference USA, Week 5

Here are the picks from the CFN writers along with Clucko the Chicken. Put down two feed dishes, one representing one team and one representing another and whichever dish the chicken goes to first is the team that's going to win. You'll do just as well. (Really, the pick is a coin flip. Don't laugh; Clucko won the 2000 Bowl Pool among 24 entrants.) You can get to the Expert Picks in the above dropdown under Predictions.

This year we're also adding the picks from WhatIfSports.com. WIS runs a computer simulation of every game 101 times to come up with its winner and predicted spread. Interested in running your own college football program, from recruiting and gameplanning to scheduling and living up to the expectations of the fans and administration? WhatIfSports.com’s Gridiron Dynasty lets you do all this and more.
 
Fiu is Pete Fiutak, Rich is Richard Cirminiello, John is John Harris, and Zemek is Matthew Zemek
* means team will win, but won't cover
