Structural Issue With College Pick’em Lowest-Week Rule
Hi Yahoo Sports Team,

I wanted to flag what appears to be a structural flaw in the College Pick’em format when using the “drop lowest week” rule. In our league, every week of the season except the final week had 25 games to pick from. The final week, however, only had nine games available. Because of that, the final week effectively becomes the lowest scoring week for every participant and gets dropped. This means the final week cannot mathematically impact standings or serve as a deciding week.

In our league, two participants entered the final week tied. But since the final week is guaranteed to be dropped, the outcome was determined by each person’s previous lowest week rather than performance in the final week. This defeats the purpose of a season finale and makes the result feel arbitrary instead of earned.

A possible fix would be:

Prevent the final week from being dropped, or

Only drop a week if it has a full, comparable slate (so a short final week is not treated as the lowest by rule).

Thanks for taking a look at this feedback.
