Quick Facts

1

The objective of the College Football Stock Exchange is to invest your way to the highest account value by trading stocks of NCAA FBS programs throughout the course of the season.

2

You are given $5000 in cash (not real money) upon registration and verification of your email address.

3

The value of each team's stock changes week to week, and is based off a combination of computer rankings, AP/Coaches poll votes, and a new, dynamic demand pricing feature. For more information on how prices are calculated, see a more detailed explanation below.

4

All stocks can be seen on the 'Explore' page, and more detailed information can be seen whenever you click on a team on the Explore page.

5

You can buy and sell stocks of a team from that team's information page, the explore page, or by using a team's ticker code on the trade page.

6

Each team's base stock price will be updated each week (most likely on Sunday afternoons) throughout the season. Surge pricing will happen live as team stocks are bought and sold by the market.

7

You're allowed to trade any given stock on the market from the time their weekly price is released, to the time their game starts for the week.


How Stock Prices Are Calculated

Team stock prices are calculated using multiple components to create a fair and dynamic market:

Base Price Components:
  • ELO Rating: A computer-based power rating system that evaluates team strength based on game results and opponent quality.
  • AP Poll Points: Points from the Associated Press Top 25 poll (ranked teams only).
  • Coaches Poll Points: Points from the USA Today Coaches Poll (ranked teams only).
Popularity Surge Pricing:
  • Maximum Boost: Up to 20% of the team's base price
  • How It Works: As more investors buy and hold a team's stock, the popularity boost increases
  • Full Boost Threshold: When enough shares are in circulation, teams receive the full popularity boost
Formula: Final Stock Price = ELO + AP Poll + Coaches Poll + Popularity Boost

Good luck!
