College Football Top 25 Pick'em Contest 2025

CF Pick'Em

Registration starts: August 20, 2025

Participants can start making picks: August 22, 2025

Scoring of game begins: August 28, 2025

Pick'em games are easy to play: Users try to pick the winning teams. 

The college football schedule and ranking system make pick'em games straightforward and aligned well with the national broadcast schedule: This game features only the premier matchups each week involving teams currently ranked in the nation's Top 25. The regular season is divided neatly into weekly periods and ends prior to the college bowl season and national playoffs. There are just the right amount of games each week (around 15 or so) to appeal to your audience.

Run your Pick'em game all season long, or carve out a custom period from any part of the master schedule. 

In late fall, watch for our college bowl game Pick'em/Ready-Made Game, too!

Noteworthy Game Defaults (customize as desired!)

  • For any given game, the default deadline for users to make their pick is five minutes before kickoff. This way, users can make use of late-breaking injury information and analysis, if they'd like. Alternatively, you can create one firm deadline for all the games. 
  • Typically, users get 2 points if they correctly pick the "away" team to win, and 1 point if they correctly pick the "home" team. For neutral site games, both "home" and "away" teams are worth 1 point each.
  • We display "pick percentages" once each game locks down, allowing users to see how popular their picks are.
  • A weekly Tiebreaker Game selection helps to resolve deadlocks for prize position.
