SALT LAKE CITY — Week 11 went about as well as expected — if you picked the favorite to win.

Michigan ran the ball 32 straight times and got a comfortable win over Penn State, Washington did just enough to get past Utah, and Georgia looked like ... well, Georgia in a dominant win over a ranked Ole Miss.

And then there's Utah State, which got one step closer to earning a bowl invitation with a win over Nevada — a game 99% of all picks went to the Aggies.

BYU's road to a bowl game is decidedly more difficult after a loss to Iowa State Saturday, a game in which 48% of all picks had the Cougars coming out on top at home. BYU fans were a bit more optimistic, with 64.9% of Cougar fans predicting a win.

Fortunately for three BYU fans, who saw the Iowa State win coming, they topped the KSL.com Sports Pick'em leaderboard for Week 11. Marvin Paynter led the way with 204 points, narrowly beating out fellow BYU fans Darren King and Elias Wise, who both finished with 203 points — King won the tiebreaker for second place.

Congrats to our winners, who will get a $100, $70 and $30 Visa gift card, respectively, courtesy of Goldenwest Credit Union.

The overall winners of Pick'em this year will receive a $500 gift card for first place, a $250 gift card for second place and a $100 gift card for third place. So far, two BYU fans top the overall leaderboard, but there's a long season ahead.

Below are the results from Week 11, including the updated leaderboard from the KSL.com Sports group.
