- This bracket, like all JettNet.ORG Tournaments, is a family-fun and family-friendly event. We do not charge an entry fee to play along and winners do not receive cash prizes. All Jett and Sicking family, friends, and co-workers and their families and friends are eligible to play.
- This Confidence Pool is based on the concept of ranking each of the 32 College Bowl Games (including the 3 College Playoff games) based on your confidence of that team winning its game.
- Players select the winner of all 32 College Football Bowl games.
- Players rank each game based on their confidence that their pick will win (32 points = most confident, 1 point = least confident).
- Each ranking number (32 to 1) can only be used one time.
- For each game picked correctly, a player is awarded the number of Confidence Points they assigned to it.
- If for any reason a team forfeits its bowl game, the forfeiting team will receive a loss and its opponent will be awarded the win.
- Underdog or upset points are not awarded in this Confidence Pool.
- The player with the most points after the National Championship Game is played is the winner.
- The deadline for submitting entries is prior to the start of the first bowl game.
- When the bracket is available, select your name from the drop-down list. If your name is not on the drop-down list, select NEW to enter your Name (Last, First).

Covid-19 impacted the College Bowl Game Schedule.
Following is a summary of the impacts
- Hawai'i pulls out of the December 24 Hawai'i Bowl vs. Memphis due to Covid-19. By rule, Hawai'i forfeits the bowl game and Memphis is awarded the win.
- Boston College withdraws from the December 27 Military Bowl vs ECU. Boston College forfeits the game and ECU is awarded the win.
- UCLA forfeits the December 28 Holiday Bowl Game to NC State due to Covid-19.
- Virginia drops out of the December 29 Fenway Bowl due to Covid-19. The bowl game will not be rescheduled, so Boston College forfeits the game to SMU.
- Texas A&M bows out of the December 31 Gator Bowl due to Covid-19. Rutgers is replacing Texas A&M as the opponent for Wake Forest in the Gator Bowl. Since the Gator Bowl will be played as scheduled, Confidence Pool players picking Texas A&M to win this game now have Rutgers.
- The Sun Bowl now features Central Michigan vs. Washington State on Friday, December 31. This move allows both teams to play in a bowl game. Both teams lost opponents due to Covid-19 issues. Miami (FL) withdrew from the Sun Bowl and Boise State withdrew from the Arizona Bowl.
- The Arizona Bowl is canceled. Since Boise State is now playing in the Sun Bowl, the outcome of the Arizona Bowl is recorded as a push with no points awarded to Confidence Pool participants. Participants who chose Miami (FL) in the Sun Bowl are now assigned Central Michigan.
The NCAA football oversight committee announced that any bowl game can be moved to as late as January 10 if the schools involved need additional time to prepare. The entire College Football Playoff (CFP) Covid-19 policy is provided below.
The College Football Playoff (CFP) Management Committee announced its policy describing the process for handling a COVID-19 outbreak among the four playoff teams. If used, this policy will be used to determine winners and losers in the Playoff Semifinal and National Championship games.
- Playoff Semifinals (Cotton and Orange Bowls) if one team is unavailable to play:
The unavailable team shall forfeit the game and its opponent would advance to the national championship game.
- Playoff Semifinals (Cotton and Orange Bowls) if both teams are unavailable to play in one semifinal:
The semifinal game would be declared “no contest” and the team winning the other semifinal game would be declared the CFP National Champion.
- Playoff Semifinals (Cotton and Orange Bowls) if three teams are unavailable to play:
The semifinal game in which two teams are unable to play would be declared “no contest.” In the other semifinal game, the team unable to play shall forfeit the game and its opponent would be declared CFP National Champion.
- CFP National Championship:
If the team’s unavailability is determined after the Playoff Semifinals have been conducted, the national championship game in Indianapolis may be rescheduled to no later than Friday, January 14. If one team is able to play and the other is not and the game cannot be rescheduled or is rescheduled and cannot be played, then the team unable to play shall forfeit the game and the other team shall be declared CFP National Champion. If both teams are unable to play on either an original or rescheduled date, then the game shall be declared “no contest” and the CFP National Championship shall be vacated for this season.
