Coming in November

Description: The NCAA Season Challenge will test college basketball fans on their long-term prediction skills.  This is your chance to book predictions about how you think the season will play out in each conference, who the best player in the nation will be and which team you feel will cut down the nets and claim the National Championship in April.

How To Play: Click the NCAA basketball logo above to access the entry page.  Once there, you will be asked to predict Division I-A league champions from the top eleven conferences in the country, an AP National Player of the Year and a National Champion.

Each participant may submit up to one entry per contest and only two participants per IP address are permitted. Your latest entry will always overwrite any previous entry.

Scoring: The NCAA Season Challenge will reward 10 points for each correct high-major conference champion, 7 points for each correct mid-major conference champion, 20 points for a correct AP National Player of the Year and 21 points for a correct National Champion.

Deadline to Play: Wednesday January 5th, 2011 at 7PM ET

Prizes: The top ten finishers will receive CFBPoints as outlined in the table below.  Any ties in placement will result in splitting the total point value for the tied placements between the contestants.

Trophies, Medals and Accolades: There are two virtual trophies associated with the NCAA Season Challenge, one national prediction championship trophy and one single-season record-holder trophy. Trophies won by members will be displayed in the Trophy Room and in the member's profile trophy case. In addition to virtual hardware, Top 25 Season Challenge Champions and the current record holder for the contest will reserve a placing on the College Basketball Winners Wall.

1. The player that finishes first at the end of the season in April will receive a gold basketball trophy. This is one of the four major college basketball prediction trophies.

2. The player who holds the single-season record for the most points in the NCAA Season Challenge will hold this record trophy until it is broken by another player.
