SALT LAKE CITY — BYU's historic 24-21 win at Wisconsin was the largest upset in KSL Pick'em history. Just three percent of participants picked the Cougars, the lowest winning percentage since 2016, when only four percent picked Oregon to defeat Utah.

BYU's fan base had a higher win percentage than both Utah and Utah State, but the Aggie faithful edged the Cougars by 0.3 points in the average score to take the top fan base for the second straight week with 18.6 points. BYU finished second with 18.3, while Utah finished third with 15.7.

The BYU game wasn't the only minority favorite to win, as Oklahoma State beat Boise State with only 45 percent of the picks.

But while Utah State fans can claim the best fan base this week, it was BYU fans that nearly swept the top 10 weekly leaderboard, including the top three spots. Cougar fans Kurt Cherrington, Kip Webster and Kristian Jorgensen are this week's prize winners, each earning one of the $100, $75, or $50 VISA gift cards courtesy of the Karl Malone Auto Group.

Below are the results from Week 3, including the updated leaderboard from the KSL Sports group.
