Bracket Bowl
Pick the playoff
Pick every game of the 12-team college football playoff, then follow your score all the way to the title game.
Opens when the field is set
The 12-team field and its seeds are announced on Sunday, December 6. Bracket Bowl opens that day, and every bracket locks at the first kickoff on Friday, December 18.
How Bracket Bowl works
Pick the winner of all 11 playoff games before the first kickoff. A correct pick is worth 1 point in the first round, 2 in the quarterfinals, 4 in the semifinals and 8 in the title game (28 possible). The tie-break is your guess at the title game’s total points.
The bracket is the 12-team college football playoff: seeds 5 to 12 play the first round, seeds 1 to 4 wait in the quarterfinals, and the bracket is never reseeded. One bracket per account. Scores come from ESPN’s public scoreboard.
