College Football Pool — NCAA Pick’em & Confidence
College Football Pool — NCAA Pick’em, Confidence & Survivor
College football is the messiest slate in sports to pool — 130-plus teams, a schedule that changes weekly, and blowouts sitting next to rivalry games. That is exactly why it is worth running online. Choose any format — pick’em, confidence or survivor — point it at the NCAA schedule, and hand-pick which games your players actually have to pick.
Every format works on the college slate
The formats are not sport-specific, so anything you can run on the NFL you can run on college football. A pick’em pool is the easiest sell for a big office: pick winners, one point each. A confidence pool suits a sharper group, since ranking picks is where knowing the difference between a good team and a good record pays off. A survivor pool works too, and the no-reuse rule bites unusually hard in college, where the reliable teams run out fast.
You can also run more than one at a time — a casual pick’em for the whole office and a confidence pool for the people who watch the noon games — and keep both on the same schedule.
Why college pools need custom schedules
A full FBS week is far too many games to ask anyone to pick. The controls that make college workable are built in:
Curated weekly slate. The commissioner selects which games appear on the pick sheet, so your pool runs on the ten games your group cares about instead of all sixty.
Picks per week. Show the full card but require each player to pick a set number of games — pick any 10 of 40, for instance — which lets people play to their own knowledge.
Spreads that update themselves. College lines move and blowouts are common; running against the spread keeps a 45-point mismatch from being a free point for everybody.
Bowls and the playoff. The postseason is part of the loaded schedule, so your pool doesn’t just stop in December when the season gets interesting.
College football is one league of many
This page covers the NCAA football schedule, but the same pool software runs the rest of the calendar too — including college basketball, which picks up right as football ends.
Scoring and standings, handled
Scores and point spreads update automatically as games finish, picks lock at kickoff, and weekly and season standings rebuild themselves. Tiebreakers are built in — total points or margin of victory, closest-to or closest-without-going-over — which matters more in college than anywhere else, because ties are common when the slate is curated down to ten games.
What it costs
Setting up a college pool takes a few minutes: name it, select NCAA football, choose your format, decide whether to curate the slate or cap picks per week, set a tiebreaker, and invite players.
It is free for up to 4 players, then roughly $3 per additional player over the free 4, $2 per player (30–99) and $1 (100+), billed annually. See the pricing page, or the office pool overview if you have never commissioned one before.
