As I’m sure you’ve noticed, things have changed. This year at Pigskin Pick Six a decision was made to move the game from an email based game to a website based game. Why you ask? Many reasons, but lets start with a story.

Pigskin Pick Six was started in 2006 by John Stovall. It started as a cozy group of 25 friends playing the game we still play today. Sure, scoring was a little different and it might have been a bit easier to win a week(or the whole thing), but the essence is the same: college football fans having fun with a new way to follow the sport they

How does this work?

Thank you for coming to the Pigskin Pick Six website. If you are here, you are either lost or are considering joining a college football pick ’em contest. How does it work?  Simply put: Each week, 15 games are selected in which the players submit 6 picks(including one lock).   You will be awarded points based on your performance.  For a complete set of league rules, please click on this url.

To pay, thus entering the competition, please follow this link to LeagueSafe: https://leaguesafe.com/join/2160982/pigskin-pick-six

Due to the number of expected participants, the vast majority of us will fail to win money.  Therefore, I encourage you to partake in little side competitions with your family and/or friends.  It will give you a better chance to get on the podium and will help keep your interest throughout the year.

Season Info

Please note the tabs at the top of the page.  All the information you would want or need throughout the season is contained within the website.  From the pick sheet, to the leaderboard and statistics.  Some of the tabs have old information used as space fillers.  It is just to give you an idea of how everything will look once the season starts.

Each week will have a preview and review post, and maybe a few sprinkled in between. Enjoy these at your leisure and feel free to comment and participate in discussions!  Our goal is to have the picks available and the leaderboard updated weekly by Tuesday at 9pm ct.
