Yes — that is the whole idea. Each week the commissioner picks which games are on the slate, and the slate can mix NFL and college football freely. College games are matched to the same week as the NFL schedule, so one weekly card covers everything.
Picks lock automatically at the first kickoff of the week. Players can pre-pick any future week, and the site sends reminder emails to anyone whose picks are incomplete as kickoff approaches.
Results come in automatically from ESPN, usually within the hour. The commissioner sets a weekly win target — hit it and you win the week — or leaves the week open so the most correct picks wins. A season-long leaderboard tracks total wins across all weeks.
The commissioner can add guest players, enter picks on their behalf, and even import a whole week of picks from an Excel sheet. Guests appear on the leaderboard like everyone else.
Yes. A locked pool can be shared as view-only: followers can watch results and standings without becoming players, and the commissioner can see exactly who is following.
