Worth knowing
- Record gap only; nothing here accounts for injuries or how the teams match up.
- A 2025 record describes last year's team. College rosters turn over hard through the portal and graduation, so this is background, not form.
- Passing yards identify the starter; they do not measure him. A returning passer is continuity, not quality.
- Team records only — no injuries, rest, weather or betting markets.
Not shown
This league arrives as a schedule only — no play-by-play or season feed is ingested for it, so there are no player props, no per-player form, and no efficiency splits. Records and rank are the material; everything above is built from those alone. Injuries, weather and travel are not modelled.
