Collegiate Gridiron - 2025 and 2026 College Football

A fast tabletop college football game, and two complete seasons to play it with.

Two d10, two halves, one roll per team per half. A game takes two or three minutes, so a full Saturday slate fits in an evening and a whole season fits in an autumn. There is no arithmetic at the table. Add your rating to your opponent's, read the modifier off a thirteen-row table, and roll.

Two seasons come in the box, not one.

2025 is a replay. All 136 FBS teams rated on what actually happened, so sides are as good as their results say they were. Play it through and the records land near the real ones, with enough drift to make it worth doing.

2026 is a projection. All 138 FBS teams, starting from final 2025 form, regressed toward the average because a great season is part quality and part luck, then blended with the preseason polls, which are the only thing that knows who left in the portal. Treat it like a preseason magazine. The point of playing it is to find out where it is wrong.

Every FCS team is rated individually. North Dakota State are not Stetson, and a pack that says they are quietly deletes the September upset from the calendar. FCS and FBS sit on one scale, fitted against the 126 real crossover results of 2025, so a guarantee game plays like a guarantee game and about one in thirty goes the other way.

Play it at the table, or let the app run the season.

An offline browser app comes with it, nothing to install. Roll the dice on screen with the animated roller, or roll your own and type the score in. It keeps conference standings, a weekly Top 25 that reacts to your results, and it works out championship week for you: the top two in each conference meet, ties broken head to head, and the title game stays out of the conference table where it belongs. The Pac-12's flex round is in there too, and it counts as a non-conference game, exactly as the conference has it. Save your season to a file and pick it up months later. Export standings and the poll to CSV when you want them elsewhere.

The app and the rulebook run the same rules. Anything the app rolls, you can roll yourself.

Print your own score sheets. Both schedules come in Pro Football Reference's column order, so they drop straight into the free TTX Schedule Printer and come back as printable sheets, week by week, with empty boxes for the scores. Every neutral site is flagged. The 2025 schedule carries the bowls and the full playoff as well.
