Draft schools.
Build an empire.
Pick a roster of schools with your friends. When your schools win real games, they take land on the empire map, and that land is yours.
02
Draft schools
A snake draft: everyone takes turns picking schools until each of you has a roster. Draft live together, or let the commissioner auto-pick for anyone who's away.
03
Win the land
Real games move territory on the empire map. Your empire is everything your schools hold. Biggest empire at the end of the season takes the trophy.
Postseason leagues
Draft from the bowl and College Football Playoff teams once they're announced. Every bowl moves land, and the league ends with the national championship.
Questions
Does it cost anything?
No. Leagues are free for up to 10 members, and everything is free during the 2026 beta. Premium Leagues (up to 32 members, custom draft order, scoring by people or counties) are an optional upgrade the commissioner pays once.
Are there prizes or entry fees?
No. It's for bragging rights: badges, crests and titles. There are no entry fees and no cash prizes, and no money ever moves between members.
How is the winner decided?
By land area your schools hold on the real map when the season ends (Premium leagues can score by counties or people instead). Standings update automatically after every game.
What if my school loses its land?
It can win it back. Any school that beats a land-holding school takes everything that school holds, so empires rise and fall every week.
How is this different from fantasy football?
You draft whole schools instead of players, so there are no lineups, waivers or injuries to manage. Real wins take land; the biggest empire wins.
Can we draft only bowl teams?
Yes. A postseason league drafts from bowl and playoff teams once selections are announced, then plays out through the national championship.
What if someone misses the draft?
The commissioner can pick the best available school for them, or auto-draft the rest of the league in one click.
