College Football Playoffs - Details on the Championship Game

The college football playoffs format has 2 semi-final games and 1 championship game. If your pool includes the championship game, it will show on the picks page, but, will have "TBD" teams until the 2 semi-finals games have finished. The 2 teams for the championship will be put into the system once they have been determined. The championship game will be locked until after the 2nd to last bowl game. The system will unlock the picks page after the 2nd to last bowl game, ie. the last bowl game before the championship game, so players can pick the championship game, without being able to change any other game.

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

Not all pools with bowls include the championship bowl game.

If the championship bowl game is not on your picks page, then your pool does not include the championship game.

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
