SALT LAKE CITY — The college football season is drawing close, and with it comes the return of KSL.com Sports' College Football Pick'em for the 2024 season.
Pick'em is back for its ninth season!
For those new to Pick'em, it's simple: guess the score for five college football games that are selected weekly by the KSL.com Sports staff. Each week, the three local teams — BYU, Utah and Utah State — and other national matchups of merit will be included in the games you'll be asked to predict.
The participant who picks the winning team and is closest to the final game score will earn the maximum number of points (50) allowed, and everyone else will be graded on how close they are to the final score. The maximum game score will increase to 100 points for bowl games at the end of the season.
During bowl season, there will be 15 games to predict, with the final matchup featuring the National Championship game on Jan. 8, 2024, at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
Want to spice up the competition? Create or join a group to compete against your family, friends, coworkers or neighbors for ultimate bragging rights. You can also see if your predictions are better than the KSL.com Sports staff, who will release their picks each week.
