What is a College Bowl Pick'em Pool?
A College Bowl Pick'em pool is basically a simpler version of our popular College Bowl Confidence format. The rules are as follows:
- Members pick the winner of up to 41 College Football Bowl games (admins can limit the number of games included)
- Pool commissioner's have the option of using the point spread or having members pick the games "straight up"
- The winner is the member with the most correct picks..

Pick'Em Pool Options
We provide several settings options so Administrator's can run their College Bowl pool their way:
- Pick deadlines - Picks and changes can either be locked at the start of the first Bowl game or individual games can be locked at kickoff.
- Point spreads - Member picks can be made with or without the point spread.
- Tiebreaker - Administrator's can choose to use a tiebreaker, which is the combined point total of the BCS Championship game.
How We'll Save You Time
While this format is very simple, running a College Bowl Pick'em pool efficiently is no easy task. We take over all the difficult and time-consuming aspects of running your College Bowl Pick'em Pool:
- No more collecting picks from your members. Members login to the website directly to make their picks.
- No more incomplete or error-ridden pick sheets. We prevent your members from making common mistakes when picking.
- No more calculating points and standings by hand. Pool standings are automatically updated as Bowl games end.
- Pick reports are updated for you. Picks are hidden from members until your pick deadlines pass.
- No more need to distribute standings. Members simply login to the site to see updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
To set up a college football bowl pool, you'll need to first choose if you will include all the games or specific ones. Then, you'll need to set the ground rules. As commissioner, you'll implement rules to ensure everything runs smoothly during the bowl games. Many use pool sites like RunYourPool to make the process easier.
Players try to pick the winner of every bowl game, assigning a point value to each game. Picks are made "straight up," not using a point spread system. Members rank each game based on how confident they are (43 points = most confident, 1 point = least confident). A winner is determined by totalling the point values assigned to correctly picked games.
