Habersham News CFP Pick ’em Challenge Tightens as Fiesta Bowl Tips Off Tonight

The race for the $25 grand prize in the 2025 Habersham News College Football Playoff Pick ’em Challenge remains wide open as tonight’s Fiesta Bowl gets underway with Miami taking on Ole Miss.

While tonight’s game will not affect the current standings, it adds another layer of excitement as contestants continue tracking their picks heading into the final stretch of the College Football Playoff.

Current Standings

At the top of the leaderboard, Shane Hunt holds the lead with six correct picks, but he is far from safe. A seven-way tie for second place sits just one point behind with five correct picks, keeping the pressure squarely on the leader.

The rest of the field remains tightly packed:

  • 16 contestants have four correct picks
  • 14 contestants have three correct picks
  • 5 contestants have two correct picks

With several games still to determine the final outcome, any remaining matchup could shift the standings dramatically.

Fiesta Bowl Winner Picks

Among this year’s participants:

  • 41 selected Georgia
  • 2 selected Texas A&M
  • 1 selected Ohio State

While the winner of tonight’s game is inconsequential, the Peach Bowl has the potential to change the leaderboard.

Winner to Be Announced After Championship

The $25 grand prize is still very much in play, and Habersham News will announce the official winner immediately following the National Championship game.

Habersham News would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s Pick ’em Challenge and for making it another fun and competitive contest for local football fans. Stay tuned for the final update and winner announcement as college football’s biggest game crowns both a national champion — and our Pick ’em champion. 🏈
