Week 14 & Final Standings
@Cigarowl, @ThrowMeDamBall3, SNOI7 (don't know your board handle), @Dalions81, @SJLuvsLions, and wmike (don't know your board handle) tied for the top for the week, with 7 points. Due to the tiebreaker, @Cigarowl took the weekly honors in the last week of the competition. 18 contestants (too many to list by handle) tied for 2nd, with 6 points. Congratulations to the aforementioned, and major kudos to @Cigarowl.
In the season-long competition, there was a lot of movement, as the small slate in Week 14 forced an earlier week into everybody's points total. Yours truly (same) took sole possession of 1st place, with 320 points. @DP5 (up 1) took sole possession of 2nd place, with 319 points. ncwref (don't know your board handle) (down 1) took sole possession of 3rd place, with 318 points. @NittanyPirate (down 3) and @BW Lion (down 3) tied for 4th place, with 317 points. @NitneLiun (same) and @CoolBean (down 1) tied for 5th place, with 316 points. @MontereyLion (down 1), @AustinLion (down 2), and @1995PSUGrad (down 2) tied for 6th place, with 315 points.

Nitt Picks (don't know your board handle) took sole possession of 17th place, with 304 points. @sayflip9 took sole possession of 18th place, with 303 points. @SJLuvsLions, @SW Fla Lion, and @Battista52 tied for 19th place, with 302 points. wmike (don't know your board handle) took sole possession of 20th place, with 301 points. @nittanymoops took sole possession of 21st place, with 299 points. @RockyMtnLion took sole possession of 22nd place, with 298 points. @Nittany1865Farmer took sole possession of 23rd place, with 297 points.

Several other contestants participated, but missed 4 or more weeks, so their season-long scores were significantly lower, and I feel it's unfair to list them.
My thanks to everyone that participated in the 2023 BWI College Football Pick'Em. Those at the top of the season-long standings have my utmost respect for a season worth of strong picks. A number of long-time contestants as well as some strong new contestants participated, which makes for a nice board/site contest.

19th Place tells you why I never bet on any sporting event, except an occasional Thoroughbred Race. 
My first year participating in this pick'em and it was a good run to just miss tying you by 1 game!
Thanks for organizing and the weekly updates. Congrats Tom.

Congrats Tom and thanks for running this again. Have you ever considered running this against the spread rather than straight winner?
I have thought about it over the years, but since I never bet on sporting events, it doesn't interest me that much. Plus, as has been shown over the years, it's tough enough to accurately pick just the winners on the weekly slate, so I kind of question what value adding another element to the competition would provide.
Congrats on the win and thank you for setting up this fun competition. Added a little rooting interest for games I would otherwise not care to follow.
