The picks

Every week the commissioner posts a slate of Power 4 games with a spread on each one. You pick every game against that spread. No confidence points, no partial entries — just the whole board.

The spread shown next to a team is what that team has to do. Taking a team at −7 means they need to win by more than seven. Taking the other side at +7 means they can lose by up to seven and you still win.

Every game has its own clock

A game stops accepting picks 15 minutes before that game kicks off — not when the week starts. Sleep through the noon window and you've lost those games, but the 3:30s and the night games are still yours to take.

The picks page shows a live countdown on each open game and greys out the ones that have closed. A game you never picked counts as a loss, same as picking wrong.

Seeing everyone else's picks

Each game reveals on its own schedule too. The moment a game closes, that game's split opens up — percentages on each side, and the names of who took what. Games later in the day stay sealed until their own cutoff.

A game also opens early if every player in the pool has already picked it, since there's nobody left to protect. Hover a bar to see the names; on a phone, tap.

The market numbers

Each game shows the implied win probability from the moneyline and how far the line has moved since it opened. That's the betting market's read, not the pool's — it's there as information, not a recommendation, and it's frequently wrong.

The drop week

Your worst week of the season comes off your record automatically — the one with the fewest wins, and if that ties, the one with the most losses. It applies from your second scored week onward and it recalculates every time a game finals, so the week being dropped can change late in the year. Standings show both the adjusted record and the raw one.

Challenges

You can call out any other player for a single week or the rest of the season. Only the games you two disagreed on can move the head-to-head record — if you both took Georgia, that game washes out and counts for nobody.

Scoring starts the moment the challenge is accepted, and only games still open at that point count. Nobody gets to watch Saturday unfold and then pick a fight they've already won. A game you didn't pick counts as a loss in the head-to-head, same as everywhere else.

Whatever you're playing for is between the two of you. The app keeps score and nothing else.

Pushes

A game that lands exactly on the number is a push. It counts as neither a win nor a loss for anybody, and it's shown separately in the standings.
