Spread vs. Non-Spread Entries
When you created your entry, you chose whether you wanted to make selections against the spread or straight-up. If you created a spread entry, the selection table will display the point spread for each game along with who is the favorite and who is the underdog.

Point Spread
A point spread is the predicted scoring difference between a game's two opponents. If picking the favorite, that team must win by more than the value of the point spread. If picking the underdog, that team must lose by less than the value of the point spread. Remember, under this format the "winning" team in College Bowl Pick'em may sometimes be the team that actually lost the game.

The selection table will display the current point spread. Point spreads are updated regularly until the game is locked.

Bonus Points
Bonus points are used to weigh each Bowl Pick'em selection. You'll assign a value to each game based on how confident you are with your selection. This value represents how many bonus points you will receive if your selection is correct. NOTE: Bonus points is an optional feature available to groups. Each bonus point value may be used only once per bowl game.

Locktimes
All games played in 2007 lock prior to respective game. All games played in 2008 lock at 11:59p PT on December 31, 2007. If a game is locked, the participant is not able to change the team selected to win or the bonus points assigned to that game (if applicable).
