Utah high school football
Can you pick Utah
football better?
Six picks a week, one game from every classification. Nobody sees what the state thinks until they commit, and then you find out which half of Utah was with you.

Try it
This is the card.
Not a screenshot. The same two halves in the schools' real colours, held grey until you call it. Farmington at American Fork, Week 4.
The format
Six games. Every class.
6A down to 1A, with 1A eight player folded into the 1A slot. The ladder never reorders, so a 1A pick is worth exactly what a 6A pick is worth.
- 6A
- 5A
- 4A
- 3A
- 2A
- 1A
How it works
Four rules, and that is all of them.
- 01
Six picks. Thirty seconds.
One game from every classification, 6A down to 1A. Make the call before Friday and the whole state is playing the same slate you are.
- 02
Call it before you look.
The crowd stays hidden until you commit. Pick your side, then find out whether Utah has your back or thinks you have lost it.
- 03
You choose the six.
Nobody hands you the slate. Every classification votes on which matchup it wants, and the winners become the following week’s Six. While you are playing one week, you are already voting on the next.
- 04
Drag your friends into it.
Make a group, name it, give it a crest, and send one code. Your team, your class, or the chat that argues about this every week, all scored side by side.
How it scores
Points
Games lock at kickoff one by one rather than all at once, so a late game stays open after an early one has started.
- 10
Each of the six
The marquee game in every classification, voted in by everyone the Sunday before.
- 1
Any other game
Call as much of the week as you like. There is no limit, and every one you get right is worth a point.

Going against the state
Back a side fewer than 30% of the state took, and be right, and the pick doubles. It is the only bonus in the game.
A Pick Six is all six marquee games called correctly in one week. It shows on your profile and beside your name on every board, and almost nobody gets one.
The schools
Every Utah high school.
All 145 of them, 6A down to 1A, each with its own logo and the colours read straight off it. Yours is in here.
Groups
One code, and the argument has a scoreboard.
Name a group and it gets a crest built from its own initials, in one of ten colourways. Send the link, and whoever taps it is in, whether or not they have the app yet.
No uploads, no free text, nothing to moderate. That is deliberate: the audience is teenagers, and the safest field is the one that does not exist.
