2024/2025 Decathlon: Event Summary: College Football

Status: Locked

RULES: COLLEGE FOOTBALL

There are big changes in NCAA Football this year, so we have big changes at the Decathlon! First, the new NCAA structure:
The Pac12 is gone and lots of teams reshuffled conferences. At the end of the year, all conferences have a title game. The top 4 ranked conference title game winners are in the playoffs and earn a bye. The 5th ranked conference title game winner is in the playoffs. The next 7 highest ranked teams are in the playoffs. Teams 5-8 host a playoff game vs teams 9-12 in the first round. The 4 winners advance to face the 4 teams with byes in the quarterfinals. These games will be played in traditional bowls, as will the semifinals. The final two teams standing play in the National Championship.


Q1: 2024 Regular Season
The top ~50 teams have been tiered. Select eight teams (2 from Tier1 and 6 from Tier2).
In Tier1, you must select one SEC and one B10 team. Yes, this means we are forcing you to choose between Ohio State and Oregon and between Georgia and Texas.
In Tier2, you must select at least one ACC and at least one B12 team. Your other 4 choices can be from any FBS conference, but they cannot include the teams you passed in Tier1.

Your eight selected teams will earn points as follows:
...7 pts for each win (regular season or bowl win)
..20 pts for a conference title game win*
..10 pts for a bowl berth**
..15 pts for an at large playoff berth**
..10 pts for a playoff win***
..10 pts for a National Championship berth
..20 pts for a National Championship title

* Independents cannot claim this bonus
** A playoff berth is not a bowl berth
*** Teams can and will earn multiple playoff wins; a bye is not a win

There are a few more NCAA football teams out there. If you wish to select a team which we didn't load, just email sportsdecathlon@yahoo.com and we'll get it loaded into Tier2.

Picks lock Thu 8/24 at 9a Pacific

Q2: 2024/25 CFP
12 teams are in the bracket; we've seeded them loosely according to the odds Choose 3 that total no more than 22 seed points. Each team you selected will earn:
...5 pts for each playoff win
...5 pts for a semifinal berth
..15 pts for a Championship berth
..25 pts for a National Championship
Picks lock at kickoff of the first game (Dec20, 5p Pacific)

Q3: 2024/25 Bowls
We've selected 15 Bowls from Dec 28 thru Jan 3. Pick 10 teams and earn 7 pts each for beating the spread

You may choose any 10 winners. You can even pick both sides of a matchup if you'd like to lock in a win a loss. The CFP Quarterfinals are included in the slate of bowls you can choose from. Your regular season picks will continue to earn bonuses for winning bowl games outright.

Picks will open Dec23 and will lock Dec28 at kickoff of the first game
