Week #5 Top 26 Team Performances
According To My Computer's Game Grades

As far as my game grades go after the 2008 season was completed, I devised a power ratings system, which lets me analyze at what level each team played during an individual game. This “game grade” takes into account the yards rushing, yards passing, points scored, rushing yards allowed, passing yards allowed and points allowed and then factors them in against the opponent played and even factors in the site the game was played at.

The Opponent faced is one of the main factors and there will be plenty of times this year when a team lost a game but actually came out with a high individual game grade especially if they out gained a superior foe on the road as a large dog.

With all these factors taken into consideration you will see teams that lost the game having a better individual game grade than teams that beat them simply because the team they played was superior and much less was expected of them.

Here are the Top 26 Individual Performances for Week 5.
