For the first time this season, we had predictions for Liberty to lose the game last week at UAB. That has separated our standings some, but we are still relying on the tiebreaker heavily. As a tiebreaker for the best prediction throughout the season, we are using a point differential average (PDA). Here are the current standings after week 5:
- Benjamin Akers (Record: 4-1, PDA: 8.0)
- Jon Manson (4-1, 13.6)
- Chad Hasson (4-1, 14.0)
- Zach McLearen (4-1, 14.4)
- Evan Nester (4-1, 16.4)
- Jacob Bleymaier (4-1, 19.4)
- Kevin Gora (4-1, 19.6)
