Players may register at any time until the Contest locks at 11:59p PT on December 31.. Once registered, you may enter the Contest by submitting a winner for each bowl game in the Contest.

5. SCORING
For each bowl game, points will be earned based on whether you select the winner of the game against the spread. Points for a bowl game are only earned if you select the winner of the game. When applying the spread, the winning pick is the team that has the most points after applying the spread. In some cases this will mean the winning pick is not the team that wins the game. The spread value is subtracted from the points scored by the Favorite team. That value is compared to the points scored by the underdog to determine the winner. In the event a bowl game is cancelled, no points will be awarded for that game.
Correct selections for non-BCS bowls are worth one point each. Correct selections for BCS bowls are worth five points each. The BCS bowl games include the following bowls:

  1. Rose
  2. Tostitos Fiesta
  3. FedEx Orange
  4. Allstate Sugar
  5. BCS Championship Game
