00 / KEEP THE TABLE

Who won?
Who invited?

The scoreboard should remember who won. The magazine should also remember who made Saturday easier, stranger, warmer, and more specific to its place.

01 / THE SCOREBOARD

THE SCOREBOARD CUP

3 POINTS / WIN

Three table points to the winner of each listed in-state game. No projection points are published.

02 / THE INVITATION

THE INVITATION CUP

50 POINTS / HOST

A separate host score published only after a cited PointCast field report. It never changes the football result.

01 / PRESEASON TABLE

Everybody
starts level.

The published board moves only after a completed game. Predictions live on your circuit card below and never enter these standings.
