Hey there! It's your favorite time of year! The CoastalFans.com Sun Belt Pick 'Em is BACK for the 16th season in a row!

As always, we start with how we finished the season last year:

(01-20-2026 11:05 AM)CoastalFans Wrote:  

webster, your reign as the Pick 'Em Champion is at its end! The crown has been returned to the home office and is up for grabs once again. Who will take it home this year? Can a Coastal fan win the contest for the first time since 2021? Only time will tell!

Here's how the scoring works:

1) Each week, you'll pick who you think will win each game featuring our Sun Belt conference mates. There may be games as early as Tuesday or Wednesday nights. The pick deadline will still apply, but if you submit a pick for a game that has already started, your submission will be changed to "Late Pick" and you will not receive any points for that game.

2) As often as possible, we will have some “Bonus” games. Every week we have Bonus games, you'll pick who you think will win some notable non-conference games for a chance at bonus points that will be automatically applied to your overall point total.

The Bonus games are optional, but I don't see why you wouldn't choose to pick these games, because...

3) SCORING: You get one point per correct pick. You don't lose any points for incorrect picks. Simple, right? Take a chance on those Bonus games - you never know what could happen, and if you get them all wrong, it's no big deal!

4) GAME CANCELLATIONS: If a game is cancelled for any reason, nobody will receive any points for that game. Only games that are actually played will be scored. If a missed game is made up later in the season, I'll do my best to add it back into the mix on the week it's made up.

That's all there is to it!

This week's picks are due by 8:00pm on 09/05/26. If you submit a pick for a game that has already started, you will automatically be given a loss for that game.

I just submitted
I think many of us made the same or close to it picks w1

CoastalFans, I appreciate you always putting this togther! Always a lot of fun! Now, time for me to have an early lead, lose it completely, start clawing my way back, and then end the season in the middle of the pack!

Third place last year which is a miracle because I will not pick against stAte even if they play the LA Rams!

Sorry, I'm back...life's kicked me in the nutz this week, but I got my picks in! GO HERD!

What a way to open the season! Well over half of you went perfect in Week 01, a far cry from last year. There weren't really any big surprises this week - probably one of the more straightforward opening weeks in recent memory.

Well, except for maybe Louisiana Tech dropping 80 on their FCS opponent. You didn't have to do 'em like that!

Here are everyone's picks from Week 01. And here's the current overall leaderboard after Week 01:



That's where we're at right now! As usual after the first week, we've got a lot of ties in the standings right now. Don't worry too much if you're way down in a tie for 30th place - there's still plenty of time to make up some ground over the course of the season.

For anyone still thinking of joining in on the fun, it's not too late - but the later you start, the more likely you are to be this year's Mr. Irrelevant!

This week's picks are due by 11:00pm on 09/12/26. If you submit a pick for a game that has already started, you will automatically be given a loss for that game.

We went from over half the field going perfect in Week 01 to NOBODY going perfect in Week 02! We did have several players pick every Sun Belt game correctly, but thanks to Oklahoma snatching defeat from the jaws of victory against Michigan, everyone had at least one incorrect pick this week. Thanks for nothing, Sooners!

As usual, we have a ton of ties left, but we saw some movement in the standings. Biggest Rise of the Week goes to Randy (hey, that's me!), who rose 36 spots from 45th to 9th place this week. Great job! Biggest Fall of the Week goes to Teal2018, who dropped an astonishing 46 spots from 1st place to 47th place after failing to submit any picks in Week 02.

Here are everyone's picks from Week 02. And here's the current overall leaderboard after Week 02:

A lot of SBC vs other G6 league games where we have really nothing to go on, as most have played P4 team and a FCS or other G6 that seem similar. My hardest pick was Liberty vs SDSU, where I went with the home team due to distance.

*BUMP*

Before we get started, THERE IS A GAME ON THURSDAY NIGHT THIS WEEK! Get your pick in before the game to maximize your point potential!



There were not one, not two, but SEVEN games in Week 3 that the majority of us got wrong! Even the person who picked the most games correctly - Purplehazed - still had three incorrect picks! To make myself feel better, though, I want to give a special shout-out to the two players who called SELA's upset over Louisiana Monroe - me and grey! Go, us!

Biggest Rise of the Week goes to both Cnelson203 and Xeonon, who rose 24 spots from 31st place last week to 7th place this week. Great job! Biggest Fall of the Week goes to Inutech, who dropped 24 spots from 1st place to 25th place after a rough week in Week 03.

Here are everyone's picks from Week 03. And here's the current overall leaderboard after Week 03:



That's where we're at right now!

This week's picks are due by 9:00pm on 09/26/26. If you submit a pick for a game that has already started, you will automatically be given a loss for that game.
