With the Super Bowl just a little more than two months away, it might be worth getting in touch with the marketing students of Fresno State.

Karen Garcia, Jasmine Ayala, Gabriela Plascienda, Diego Gonzalez, Ali Yang, Gurbir-Gugu Samran and hundreds of volunteer assistants cruised to victory in last week's GWR Fan Choice after creating the largest serving of salsa as part of a marketing class project, cooking up 1,644.72 kg (3,625.99 lb).

Earning 66% of all votes, this achievement will now be entered in our list of contenders for a year-end showdown in which we'll ask you fans to vote for your favorite record of the year at the end of 2013.

This week is the last week before we get our tournament started, so make sure to vote below! We have a huge group of Marines flexing their record muscle and a stadium full of classical instruments.

But first, waterski like an Egyptian!

LARGEST HUMAN WATERSKIING PYRAMID (pictured above)

Record: 60 waterskiiers

Holder: Big Pull 2013 (USA)

Location: Lake Wazeecha, Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, USA

That's not all: Five different show ski teams (Aqua Ducks, Backwater Gamblers, Badgerland, Beaverland Must-Skis and Water Bugs) from Wisconsin and Illinois made up the 60-person pyramid. Not content to just sneak past the previous record, the Big Pull broke the mark by 12 waterskiiers.

Record: 8.75 m (28 ft 8.49 in) tall

Holder: Hans-Peter Schiffer (Germany)

Location: Kaarst, Germany

That's not all: Talk about a green thumb - this is the third time Schiffer has grown a record-breaking sunflower in the last four years. In 2009, he topped an 8-year-old record with a sunflower measuring 8.03 m (26 ft 4 in). He followed that up with an 8.23 m (27 ft)-tall sunflower lsat year before growing his latest crowning achievement.

MOST PEOPLE PERFORMING A CHAIN PUSH-UP

Record: 138

Holders: Single Marine Program Camp Lejeune (USA)

Location: Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina

That's not all: Is there anything a Marine can't do? Thanks to its huge base population, the organizers at Camp Lejeune decided to attempt a record that would display both the physical prowess of Marines and the base's large contingent of possible participants. With each person's feet on the shoulders of the person behind them, the chain completed three push-ups.

LARGEST ORCHESTRA

Record: 7,224 musicians

Holder: 2013 Queensland Music Festival (Australia)

Location: Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

That's not all: The musicians - a large enough group to require the use of a 50,000+ capacity stadium - playled a medley of "Waltzing Matilda", "Ode to Joy," and "We Will Rock You." Theattempt was conducted by renowned jazz musician James Morrison, and lasted for 6 min 8 sec.
