SALT LAKE CITY — For the first time since Week 1, the three major in-state college football programs all won.
BYU running back Algernon Brown found the end zone with 19 seconds remaining to give the Cougars a 45-38 win over East Carolina.
Utah State put on a clinic against Fresno State, seemingly scoring at will in its 56-14 win over Fresno State.
Utah intercepted Cal quarterback Jared Goff five times and held off a late scoring opportunity by the Bears to win 30-24.
In other games last week, Michigan extended its shutout streak to three games in a 38-0 romp over Northwestern and Florida State outlasted rival Miami 29-24.
With the games in the books, how did we do? Here are the results of Week 6 of KSL's College Football Pick'em.
KSL.com user L. Hutchings (BYU fan base) took the top spot in Week 6 with 197 points out of a possible 250.
Hutchings' best picks were BYU 42, East Carolina 35 (47 points) and Utah 28, Cal 24 (48 points). By finishing with the most points in Week 6, Hutchings will receive a $30 Wells Fargo Visa gift card.
Consensus picks were a perfect 5-0 (prediction, actual): Utah vs. Cal (33-24, 30-24); BYU vs. East Carolina (31-21, 45-38); Florida State vs. Miami (30-21, 29-24); Michigan vs. Northwestern (25-19, 38-0); and Fresno State vs. Utah State (16-28, 14-56).
BYU fans were the most accurate in Week 6, taking the top 5 spots in the weekly leaderboard. The Cougar fan base correctly picked 90 percent of the games, edging out the Utah State fan base with an average score of 27.5 to 27.4. Utah fans scored an average of 27.0 points per game.
The Utah fan base had the most optimism, with 98.7 percent of fans picking the Utes to beat Cal. Utah State had 97.9 percent picking the Aggies to beat Fresno State, and BYU had 96.2 percent of fans picking the Cougars to beat East Carolina.
For those following the KSL Sports group, Andy Larsen had most points with 179, enough to edge out Josh Furlong out of the top overall spot.
Here is the schedule of games for Week 7: BYU (4-2) vs. Cincinnati (3-2); Utah State (3-2) vs. No. 21 Boise State (5-1); No. 6 LSU (5-0) vs. No. 8 Florida (6-0); No. 14 Notre Dame (5-1) vs. USC (3-2); and No. 4 Utah (5-0) vs. Arizona State (4-2).
We are excited to announce that we are partnering with RC Willey to give away a 4K TV as part of KSL College Football Pick'em. More details on the TV to be released in our predictions article later in the week, but the winner will be the user with the most points of their top seven weekly scores combined. That's right, even if you had a down week or were late to join in on the game, you are still in the mix to win.
