2024-2025 College Bowls Pool - Rules
POOL SETUP:
There are 46 Bowl games that comprise the NCAA FBS College Bowl schedule. The Salute To Veterans Bowl beginning December 14 to the National Championship on January 20. All College Football Playoff games are included in this pool also. NOTE: Since the Celebration Bowl on December 14 is between 2 FCS teams, it will not be counted in this pool.
Each game has a point value assigned to it. Every correct pick earns the points that are assigned for that game. CFP Playoff games as well as matchups of ranked teams will have higher values. Values for playoff games will increase each round to the championship game.
Simply choose who you think will win each game on the schedule. The picks are straight up win/lose (no point spreads). Picks can be made until just before kickoff of each game.

NOTE: The Bowl schedule is not finalized until Selection Sunday (December 8), so points values for the Bowl games listed below are subject to change.
