WHAT TO DO:

NOTE: Beginning in 2024, This pool will be run separate from the College Bowls pool.

12 teams and 4 rounds make up the College Football Playoffs: 

1.) 1st Round (4 matchups)
2.) Quarterfinals (4 matchups)
3.) Semifinals (2 matchups)
3.) National Championship (1 matchup) 

Each entry will choose who they think will win each of the 11 playoff games that comprise the College Football Playoffs.

Entries will also rank each selection using a predetermined list of rankings for each round based on how confident you are in choosing the winner correctly (same as a typical football confidence league). Each round, you may not use the same point value more than once

If you choose the winner correctly, you will receive the points that you assigned for that game.

Any incorrect pick scores zero points

Example: Notre Dame vs Tennessee (1st Round): You are extremely confident that Tennessee will win the game, so you choose Tennessee and assign the matchup a point value of 10. If they win, you receive 10 points towards your overall point total. If they lose, you receive 0 points. The other games follow the same format. See "Points Distribution Section" below for how much the point values are for each round.
 

POINTS DISTRIBUTION:

Choose a predetermined set of values for each game based on how confident you are of your selection winning. Point values for games increase beginning with the semifinals. Below is the breakdown of each round:

1ST ROUND:

10 points- Most Confident of the 4 matchups
7 points: 2nd Most Confident
5 points: 3rd Most Confident
3 points: Least Confident of the 4 matchups

QUARTERFINALS PLAYOFFS:
