SALT LAKE CITY — Clemson's last second win over Alabama Monday night caused quite the shakeup in not only the bowl week leaderboard, but the overall standings as well.

KSL College Football Pick'em wrapped up its second season as the Tigers edged the Crimson Tide 35-31 to claim the National Championship trophy. And while 54 percent of all users thought that was an egregious pick play in the end zone (those who picked Alabama, including me), nothing can be taken away from what was another fantastic college football season.

BYU fan Kraig Loveland finished first overall, ending with a Pick'em best 66-10 record and 2,403 points. Close behind was Utah State fan David Cowley with 2,321 points and Terri Hurst with 2,304 points. The overall winners will receive a $500, $250, or $100, respectively, VISA gift card courtesy of Mountain America Credit Union.

It was a great bowl season for BYU, with the Cougars winning their first bowl game under new head coach Kalani Sitake, and BYU fans sweeping the bowl week leaderboard. Kari Child finished with 436 points, Breann Evans with 434, and Steve Moffett won a tiebreaker for third place with 422 points. Bowl week winners will receive a $100, $75 or $50 VISA gift card.

While BYU fans had the best week during the bowls, it wasn't enough to edge out the Utes for best overall fan base. Utah fans finished as the best fan base overall, averaging 22.9 points per game and correctly picking 68 percent of its games. Utah State finished second with 22.3 points per game, but only had 66 percent correct. While BYU had a higher percentage at 67 percent, they only averaged 22.2 points per game.
