2023: Week 8

Eight weeks in and we're finally getting reasonable results.  (I didn't post either of the previous two weeks because I got bad results again.)

I used the default values (35 max point difference and a square root curve) and got quick rankings, that resulted in much better stats:

Margins of Victory in upsets: 4823 (8.253191416544029% of total margin points)
