A fourth new winner this week, as each of those correctly picking 9 games...failed to foresee the New Mexico Lobos losing at home to their in-state rivals. So this week's tiebreaker went down to the earliest entry of the four, which was Mark's. Ben made his initial picks first, but upon changing his initial pick of Minnesota to win and instead (rightly) pick North Carolina, his entry order was changed to sixth.

The Kansas State vs Missouri battle was one for the ages, capped by a 61 yard winning FG, after a delay of game penalty on Missouri pushed what would have been a 56 yard effort into seemingly impossible territory. The kick, which was the longest in SEC history, easily cleared the crossbar, and may well have been good from 65+. Missouri hadn't beaten Kansas State since 2010.

Congratulations, Mark, on earning your and your spot in the Bowl Bash by having your submission recorded first this week! (as lukewarm a congratulations as I suppose one can make).

This week's totals:

GulfCoast Presbyterian: 9
toddpedlar: 9
SolaScriptura: 9
greenbaggins: 9
BuckeyePuritan: 8
DanSSwing: 8
Spurge: 8
Edward: 8
Sovereign Grace: 7
Edm: 6

And our 2023 weekly winners thus far:
