As of 2024, the CFP tournament has 12 teams vying for the championship in 4 rounds of games. The first round is the only round that will have known matchups when bowl season starts. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th round CFP matchups won't be known until the previous round of games end. If your pool includes CFP games with "TBD" teams, you will have to return to the site to make those picks after the matchups are known.

Please note: that the "edit picks" page may read "Picks: Incomplete" until every last game has been selected.

Not all pools with bowls include CFP Rounds 2, 3 & 4.

If the championship bowl game is not on your picks page, then your pool does not include CFP games for rounds 2, 3 & 4.

Scoring Options

Select only 1
 Straight Pick em

» 1 point for each correct pick
 
 Ranked Pick em

» For each correct pick, users will receive the number of points equal to the confidence rank that they entered for that game.
» The goal is to score the most points, which may not equate to the most wins
» The "catch" is that ranking numbers can only be used once
  • Put high points on your most confident pick
  • Put low points on your least confident pick

 
 Pick em Against The Spread (ATS)

» All games are picked against half-point spreads
» 1 point for each correct pick
» How it works: Picking Against the Spread
  • Picking against the spread is where you try to determine which team will cover the spread; not necessarily which team will win.
  • While certain teams will win their game, they will not “cover the spread”, and thus if the team is selected it will count as a loss.
  • Example
    • The home team is favored by 16.5 points (-16.5)
    • The home team beats their opponent by 8 points (31 to 23), but, the home team's spread was (-16.5), so, when picking against the spread, the home team's score was 14.5 (31 minus 16.5), which is less than their opponent's score of 23.
    • This means anyone who picked the home team to win by 16.5 points or more was incorrect, since they only won by 8 points
