What We Learned in College Football's Week 5

Georgia Bulldogs came in No. 1 in the AP poll, but they beat Missouri Tigers 30-point road favorites.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are 5-0 and not ranked No.1 in this week's AP poll. They are favored by 25.5 points on the road against the Michigan State Spartans.

Miami Hurricanes are a big under-dog against North Carolina. Teams coming off a home loss priced as a 20-point favorite or more have gone 21-15 SU, 13-23 ASTS for 36% winning bets, including a 15-17-2 Over-Under record. If a team has fallen out of the Top 25, it is 9-8 SU and 4-13 ATS for 24% of winning bettors.

The Hurricanes host the Tar Heels in Week 6.

The big favorites of 17.5 or more points won 88% of their games in Week 5. The market has priced them correctly. Connecticut (-23. 5) defeated Fresno State 19-14 and Georgia Tech (-21.

There were five games in which each team was ranked. Home teams in those games went 2-3 SU, 1-4 ATS and 3-2 Over-Under.

Kansas is the surprise team on the college football landscape this season. Kansas is 5-0 SU and ATS and will be hosting TCU. TCU is a five-point home underdog. Teams that have won their first five games are 2-5 SU, 1-6 AATS for 14% winning bets.

Illinois lost to Wisconsin last week. Wisconsin lost the game and the next day the university administration fired coach Paul Cryst. The situational betting angle has earned a 62-29-7 ATS record, good for 68% winning bets over the last 15 seasons. Road teams with a high yards per play and a low yards-per-play average have a better record.
