Bowl Pick 'Em
Miss out on the regular season pick 'em? It’s time to TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!
Put your knowledge to the test in our annual Bowl Pick 'Em Contest and compete for a prize pool of some monetary value and a special top scorer flair.

The mechanics are simple: pick your favorites for each game, then slide the games in the order of most to least points. You can use the arrows on the left side as the area to drag and drop.
For the bowl season, you are eligible for a maximum of 861 points. High point value indicates high confidence in the outcome; low point value indicates low confidence. Be strategic. If you pick Team A to beat Team B and have it in the 40 points slot and Team A wins, you get 40 points for the pick, so make sure the games you are most confident about are placed in higher point values. Other than missing out on the points you would otherwise have received, there is no additional penalty for incorrectly picking games! If you manage to forget the earliest game, you only miss out on 1 point; if you miss the earliest two games, you miss out on 1+2 points, and so on.
- The Bowl Pick 'Em is completely separate from the Season Pick 'Em. Results of the Season Pick 'Em do not affect the Bowl Pick 'Em.
- If you were part of the season pick 'em, you are already signed up and will only have to make your picks.
- All groups still exist and the admins of the groups will just have to add the games to take part in the Bowl Pick 'Em
- An “Add all games” button has been added to the admin page. It does exactly as advertised.

2023 Regular Season Winners
Congrats to the winners of the 2023 Regular Season /r/CFB Pick 'Em! You can see the full Season standings here
- /u/TallyAlex: 631 points
- /u/BoomerSooner1965: 627
- /u/JordanDean04: 624
- /u/Trav1s13b: 620
- /u/JPL47: 619 (won the 5th spot on Army-Navy tiebreaker over /u/funforyourlife)
Additional congrats to /u/snappy763 who won a random drawing as a user who played the entire season! All 6 will receive great prizes from our partners with Homefield Apparel, YETI, the Pop-Tarts Bowl, the Duke’s Mayo Bowl and the Cheez-It Bowl, and we will be in touch on how to receive them.
And again, if you didn’t win, but would like to, everyone is starting fresh from 0 for the 2023-24 Bowl Pick 'Em! The format is similar, but this time you’ll have to pick all 41 FBS bowl games. For each game, pick a winner, and then rank them from 1-41 points based on how confident you are that you’ve picked the winner.
Any tiebreakers will be resolved by the CFP Final (not included in the bowl pick 'em), and you’ll get a PM after the other bowls if it becomes relevant.
You can always make your own Custom Leagues and add as many FBS games each week as you like!
Good luck!
