How it works

Build a roster of college football teams under a salary cap. Earn points all season long as your teams win games, reach milestones, and make deep playoff runs.

The draft

Each pool has a salary cap — a credit budget that limits how many top-tier teams you can fit on your roster. Every team is priced based on their projected season strength: powerhouses cost more, underdogs cost less.

Your commissioner sets the pool rules when creating the pool:

SettingWhat it controls
Salary capTotal credits you can spend on your roster
Roster sizeHow many teams you must pick (typically 6–8)
Conference limitMax teams from the same conference (prevents stacking)

Once you lock your roster, picks are final. The commissioner can unlock individual rosters before the pool is fully locked.

Scoring

Teams earn points for every win during the regular season. The type of opponent matters:

ResultPoints
Win vs FBS opponent+3
Win vs FCS opponent+1
Win vs ranked opponent (bonus)+2

The ranked win bonus stacks on top of the base win — beating a ranked FBS opponent is worth 5 points total.

Season milestones

Beyond per-game points, teams earn bonuses for reaching season-level milestones:

MilestoneBonus
8-win season+3
10-win season+5
Conference championship game appearance+5
Conference champion+8

Win bonuses are cumulative — a 10-win team earns both the 8-win and 10-win bonuses (+8 total).

College Football Playoff

The CFP is where the biggest points are earned. Every round your team advances adds to your total:

AchievementPoints
CFP berth (making the 12-team field)+8
Each CFP win+6
National champion+12

A national champion who wins all four CFP games earns 8 + (4 × 6) + 12 = 44 bonus points on top of their regular season total.
