The Bruins Nation Pac-12 Pick 'Em week 6 winner is ...
OC Bruin!
Before we congratulate OC Bruin, there's a bit of bad news that goes with his big victory. You see, OC Bruin is actually a co-winner. I'm sorry, OC Bruin, but you have to share this week's honor with me, which unfortunately significantly devalues your victory. It's like learning that you've won your school's Excellence in Scholarship award, and that your name will be etched on a commemorative plaque next to the name of your co-winner, Ralph Wiggum.
Me fail English, that unpossible- Ralph Wiggum... #BUZZZ http://t.co/mD6G8CVRbu

So in this case, both congratulations and sympathies to OC Bruin.
For the record, OC Bruin and FYI - Am I Winning? each tallied 14 points in week 6, while four competitors (ucla805, Silicon Valley Bob, RNSCPA, and Gobruins2015) each collected 13 points and tied for second place.
With five weeks left to go in the competition, the leaderboard now looks like this:

Silicon Valley Bob holds a three point lead over IE Angel, with Insomnia333 four points behind in third place, and this week's winners tied for fourth place, five points out of first. It's worth remembering, however, that after the final week of Bruins Nation's Pac-12 Pick 'Em, each player's lowest weekly score will be dropped, so there's bound to be a lot of movement in the final standings.

As always, I'll end with the usual reminder to all competitors that there are two Friday games this week (Temple at SMU and BYU at San Jose State), so don't forget to submit your picks before the Friday deadline.
Go BRUINS!
