What we publish for college basketball
Our college basketball picks start with the 2026-27 season, which tips off in November. Until then there is nothing on the board for it, and that is on purpose: a pick only goes out when the game in front of us calls for one.
Some of our college basketball picks are made at halftime. They are taken during the break, with the first half already played, and published before the second half starts. Every one carries its own timestamp on the public ledger.
How the college basketball research was done
The college basketball work started from the same place as every sport on this site: several seasons of real games and real prices, every idea checked season by season with the bad years in view, and nothing kept because it looked good once.
Most of what we tested did not survive, and it is not here. The research carries on through the season, and anything new earns its place the same way.
How to read a college basketball pick
Teams are written by school, the way people talk about them: Duke, not the Blue Devils. A pick that reads Duke ML backs Duke to win the game outright, overtime included.
A halftime pick is still a full-game pick. It is made at the break, with the first half already known, and it is settled on the final score of the whole game. The note "(at the half)" beside it tells you when it was taken.
How college basketball picks are graded
Each pick is graded from the official final score. The result is written to the ledger next to the original pick, wins and losses in the same font size.
Why the record can be trusted
Every ledger entry carries a cryptographic hash of the one before it. Change any past pick or result and the chain visibly breaks, and the database refuses edits and deletions outright. That verifiable record is the only thing we ask to be judged on.
