May 2026 Update:
For more than 20 years, SmackFootball has been built around one thing above all else — the players, rivalries, traditions, and weekly excitement that make this game special. As we prepare for the 2026 season and beyond, we’re excited to begin rolling out the biggest behind-the-scenes upgrades in SmackFootball history. These updates are designed to modernize the site, improve weekly content, simplify season management, and create new features for players and fans — all while keeping the core SmackFootball experience exactly the same.
The heart of SmackFootball is not changing. Weekly picks, hidden selections before lock time, rivalry battles, bowl season chaos, preseason predictions, Hail Mary picks, rankings, and the competitive spirit that has defined this game for decades will all remain intact. The goal is not to reinvent SmackFootball — it’s to strengthen it, modernize it, and prepare it for the future while protecting the traditions that longtime players love.
Over the coming months and seasons, players can expect improvements including enhanced mobile support, smarter weekly updates, AI-powered game previews and upset alerts, better historical tracking, expanded statistics, easier league management, and new community features that celebrate the personalities and history of the game.
SmackFootball began as a passion project among friends. Twenty years later, it has become a tradition. The next chapter is about building a stronger platform around the same game we’ve all come to love every football season.
Well, this is the plan anyway… :)
SmackFootball Upset Alert
Upset Alert: Liberty Flames Ready to Torch James Madison’s Heels!
Alright folks, this one’s got all the ingredients of an instant classic! James Madison may be the hefty favorite with a 9.5-point spread, but Liberty is fired up and smelling blood. This matchup isn’t just about numbers — it’s about pride, passion, and a rivalry that’s been quietly heating up. Liberty wants nothing more than to prove they belong on the big stage, and a win over JMU would send shockwaves through the college football world.
Emotional momentum is firmly on Liberty’s side. The Flames have been grinding with a chip on their shoulder, fueled by underdog energy and the frustration of being overlooked. James Madison, meanwhile, might be feeling the pressure of expectations, and that can lead to crack-ups when the game gets physical and intense. Liberty’s defense is a dangerous unit that can disrupt JMU’s rhythm and force costly mistakes — and you know how ruthless an underdog can be when it smells a vulnerability.
This one’s a high-stakes rivalry clash where every snap will be charged with emotion. JMU better watch out — the Flames have an explosive offense that can strike fast and change the game in the blink of an eye. If Liberty comes out with fire in their eyes and controls the tempo early, this upset could be brewing. Don’t blink or you might miss the moment the underdog takes down the favorite in one of the season’s most thrilling dramas!
Congratulations, Donna!

Here are some rule changes for SmackFootball 2025!
Addition of SUPER SMACK – Smack level 6 for 30+point win.
People who stop playing for 2 weeks turn purple and do not count towards the HailMary bottom 25% until they return.
Here are some rule changes for SmackFootball 2026!
When making your Pre-Season playoff picks, you will pick 2 of those teams that you think will go to the National Championship. If they make it to the National Championship game, you will get extra points per team.
Also, if you are the only person to pick a team to go to the playoffs, you will get two points instead of one for each level that team advances.
What IS SmackFootball?
SmackFootball is a free College Football 7 game weekly pick’em.
Points are based on your knowledge of college football and a ton of blind luck. Points are also awarded depending on the level of SMACK you put on a game. Smack is like a spread. Sort of. Anyway…..do you feel lucky?
SmackFootball is NOT Fantasy Football.
GOOD GRIEF! We are too lazy and are not interested in spending that much time on ANYTHING. If you want to research and get all strategy, fine. If you want to just log in and make 7 quick picks, fine too. You’ll probably do just as well as the strategists.
SmackFootball is and always will be free to play.
1st place gets a nice engraved crystal football trophy.
The trash talk is PG and good-natured, unless you’re a fan of Tennessee or Miami. You understand, I am sure.
Currently, SmackFootball is only open to people we know and friends of friends.
Register and let me know who you are and I’ll activate your account. Registration just requires a valid email address and a name. YES, you can be Captain Jack Sparrow if you want….keep it PG, hooligan.
HERE WE GO WITH THE SHENANIGANS!!!!
It’s Pre-Season! You got 4 things to do before we get SmackFootball going!
Pick your Heisman!
Go ahead and try picking the Heisman winner pre-season!
Make your pick!
Pick your Coach!
Pick a D1 College head coach that is going to get fired this year!
Make your pick!
Pick your Playoff Teams!
Pick all 4 teams you think will make the college playoffs!
Make your pick!
Pick Week 1!
Pick all 7 games of Week 1 and add some Smack to it!
Make your picks!
How do I score points?!?!
- Pick winners for 7 games selected each week.
- Smack Points – Pick spread points for each game. +- points based on levels of your predicted win or loss
- Pre-season – Playoffs Picks – Pick 4 teams (12 starting in 2024) that you think will make the college playoffs. + points for each correct team.
- Pre-season – Coaches Hot Seat – Pick a coach and if your coach gets fired, you win points
- Pre-season – Heisman – Pick a Heisman candidate. If he wins, you win points
- Lone Wolf – bonus points if you are the only person to pick a team, coach, playoff team, Heisman candidate, or Heisman winner and they win
- Hail Mary – bonus points if you are on the bottom and need to start taking some shots downfield
- “The Unicorn” – (This has its own trophy.) This is a game won where a player chooses The Smack + Lone Wolf + Hail Mary. We think this is worth something like 34 points. It has never happened. Not even close.
Winner take all, baby! Second place is the first loser. :)
Are you ready for some college football?!?!?!
No. You are NOT ready…..
