College Football Picks & Predictions
Model-driven college football picks across the FBS schedule, posted before they play and graded on a public, hash-chained ledger. Every team is written by school, the way fans say it.

What we publish for college football
College picks are mostly game totals, with a few spreads, and some are made at halftime for the second half. A halftime pick is published at the break, before the second half is played, and it carries its own timestamp on the ledger like every other call.
The FBS schedule is big, so there are more college picks in a week than NFL picks, but most games still get none. A card that picks every game is not choosing anything. Lower-division FCS games are covered separately, in our research desk's Advanced Strategies book.
Teams are written by school name, Michigan rather than Wolverines, on every page of the site and on the ledger, so a pick is easy to find and hard to misread.
How the college research was done
College football was tested across more than a decade of FBS seasons on real historical prices, the numbers that were actually on offer at the time. That matters more in college than anywhere else: lines move a long way through the week, and a result graded at the wrong number can make a losing idea look like a winning one.
We look at every idea season by season, bad years included, and at whether it held up in seasons it was never tuned on. Most ideas fail one of those checks. What passes is what reaches the ledger.
How college picks are graded
Each pick is graded from the official final score against the exact number it was published at, and second-half picks against second-half points only. A result exactly on the number is a push and counts as neither a win nor a loss.
If something a pick was based on changes before kickoff, we withdraw it in the open. It stays on the ledger, marked as withdrawn, and it is never counted as a win or a loss.
Why the record can be trusted
Every ledger entry carries a cryptographic hash of the one before it, so the record forms a chain that breaks visibly if any past pick or result is changed. The database refuses edits and deletions, and anyone can check the chain from the ledger page.
Questions
Are your college football picks free?
Creating an account is free, and every settled college pick stays on the public ledger for anyone to check. Picks for today and upcoming games come with the college football ledger plan, one sport at a time and cancel anytime.
When are college football picks posted?
Full-game picks are posted before kickoff, some early in the week and some closer to the game. Second-half picks are posted at the halftime break, before the second half plays.
Which college football markets do you cover?
Mostly game totals and second-half totals, with some spreads. Each pick shows the side and the exact number it was taken at.
Do you cover every FBS game?
We look at the whole FBS slate, but only a minority of games get a pick in any week. FCS games are covered in the Advanced Strategies book.
Why are teams listed by school?
Because that is how people know them. Michigan at Oklahoma reads clearly; mascots and abbreviations do not, especially across more than a hundred schools.
What does a withdrawn pick mean?
Something the pick relied on changed before kickoff, so we pulled it. It stays on the ledger, marked withdrawn, and never counts as a win or a loss.
How do I know your college football record is real?
Every pick is written to a public, hash-chained ledger before it plays and settled in the open afterward, wins and losses in the same font size. Change any past result and the chain visibly breaks.
Check the public record first, then unlock the college picks still to play. Every one is posted before it plays and graded after the final.
