The new College Football Playoffs pool is a free bracket pick'em office pool. The 2024/25 pool starts Friday 12/20.
poolsbyround now offers two separate bowl games related pools. The traditional
Bowl Games pool and the new College Football Playoffs bracket pool. The Bowl Games pool does not include games involved in the College Football Playoffs.
Players can pick 1 round at a time or the whole bracket before the games start. Playing 1 round at a time gives players who have a rough 1st round a better chance at catching up and not losing interest. It also creates a more strategic, fun game.
Along with all our usual bracket league options (including underdogs/favorites and round progress), you can also choose to play over/under, parlay and more.
All our pools feature easy league hosting setup for the commish and exceptional league scoring options to customize the pool to your preference.
College Football Playoffs Pool - How it worksThis is a bracket pick'em pool. Just pick the winner of each game. Each player can make 1 set of picks.
Earn points for correct picks. Most points wins the pool.
Point values for each pick are shown next to each team on the picks page.
Tiebreaker: the entry closest to the total points scored in the National Championship game wins.
When picking 1 round at a time, each game's pick is due by kickoff time.
League options• Pick 1 round at a time or the whole bracket at the start.
• Points increase each round.
• Underdogs are worth more points, favorites are worth less.
• When picking 1 round at a time, allow players to pick any team each round. Or, after the 1st round, don't allow players to pick teams that they picked to lose in a previous round.
• Parlay: Players can select 3 games to parlay. Win extra points for picking all 3 games correctly or lose points if you miss one.
• Over/Under: Players can pick whether the total points scored in a game will be over or under the posted number.
