Compliance notice: A free game: the site's forecasts are generated by a model, and a score is real only where its source is named. Nothing in the game takes money or accepts a wager.

Any two schools, one prediction

Pick two programmes and the model makes its call: a predicted margin, a points total, a win chance, and the thing a margin actually rests on — where it lands. They do not have to be scheduled to play, or be in the same state, or have ever met.

Ratings come from real results in the states where scores are collected; in states without real scores yet the model knows little, and its call sits close to even. The game does not exist and the number is a model’s opinion, which is the only honest thing to call it. How the predictions are made.

Nothing here is saved and it doesn’t touch your units. The schools and their states are real. A classification is how a state labels school size and a district here is this site’s own grouping, not the association’s. The game here is imagined; the number is the model’s.
