Game Thread Site

The season is upon us, and our Game Thread site is available at the link above! If you’re new to /r/CFB or haven’t used the Game Thread generator before, the way it works is that any users with a (small) total amount of comment karma on /r/CFB can claim any D1 game thread each week the week before the game. Game Threads are posted to /r/CFB an hour before kickoff, and at the time of the post, a random user who claimed the game will be selected to post the thread from their account. All you have to do is authorize the system, which will take care of the rest in the background. Once the game ends, a Postgame Thread will also be posted from your account.

Like last year, all you have to do this year is click “Claim” on the threads you want to put your name in for, and we’ll take care of the rest.

You can claim up to 3 FBS and 3 FCS threads per week (these do not count towards the 3 posts per day limit). A small number of “Featured” threads that we expect high traffic on as well as any FBS threads that don’t get claimed will be posted by /u/CFB_Referee. Not all FCS threads have to be claimed, and if some aren’t, a top level comment with the box score will be put in the weekly non-D1 thread with the D2/D3/NAIA and other game discussions.

To recap, the full steps to claim a thread:

  1. Login to
  2. Confirm you have 100+ comment karma on /r/CFB (click Refresh Karma).
  3. Claim a thread (click Claim).
  4. Give the Game Thread tool permission to post on your behalf.
  5. Sit back and wait for the threads!

Steps 1/2/4 will each send you to Reddit to confirm your permissions, but you should only have to do this once (and can revoke it any time).

Claiming Game Threads is fun, helps keep the culture of the best place to talk about College Football organic and user-driven, and is probably the easiest way to get karma on Reddit.

Please let us know in the comments if you have any questions or suggestions. Happy Game Threads, the season is almost here!
