No one knows college football personnel better than Barton Simmons.

A high-profile CBS Sports personality, Simmons has been involved in college football and recruiting since 2000, first as a player and then as a reporter and analyst. He was a two-time All-Ivy League safety at Yale before beginning a career in media at Rivals. Then he helped build 247Sports into the premier destination for recruiting coverage. It's no wonder Simmons oversees 247Sports' prospect rankings and plays a primary role in the selection of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Co-host of the Cover 3 College Football Podcast, Simmons is uncanny when it comes to beating the books: Last year he went 68-50 (58 percent) on his podcast picks, closing the season on a 21-6 heater capped by Clemson's national title game upset of Alabama.

SportsLine recruited Simmons to share his weekly best bets. We can tell you Simmons loves three Week 5 plays, including Wisconsin laying 24.5 points against visiting Northwestern.

"Northwestern has given us absolutely no reason to think it can keep this game competitive," Simmons wrote.

Simmons also loves ATS picks on Mississippi State-Auburn and Arizona State-Cal. You need to see his picks before locking in any of your own.

So which plays should you make Saturday for a chance at a 6-1 payout? And what are the best bets for Mississippi State-Auburn and Arizona State-Cal? ... Join SportsLine right now to see Barton Simmons' best bets for Saturday, all from the personnel guru who went 68-50 last season!
