Questions people ask
Where do these college football Pick'Em percentages come from?
From real picks made in college football Pick'Em pools run on ChooseASquare: office pools, family leagues and fundraisers. Each percentage is the share of players, across every pool on the platform, who took that side. No pool and no player is ever named, and the page refreshes through the week as picks come in.
What is the confidence number?
In a confidence pool every player ranks the week's games, putting their highest points on the pick they are surest of. The confidence number is how much of their confidence players put on a game, from 0 to 100: near 100 means it was most players' lock of the week, and a low number means they took a side but hedged. It is a different signal from the percentage, because a game can be a near-even split and still be one nobody trusts.
Why does a game show no percentage?
A percentage appears once enough players have picked the game for it to mean something. Until then the game is listed with its kickoff and line only.
Which college football games are included?
Every game that appears on a college football Pick'Em slate on ChooseASquare, which covers the power conferences and plenty more. Weeks follow the college calendar, Tuesday through Monday, counted from Labor Day weekend as Week 1.
