Two feeds sit behind this
page: a per-player one that covers quarterbacks, running backs, receivers and tight
ends, and a season-leaders one that lists only each team’s top few in each
category. A player outside both — most linemen, defenders and specialists, and
squad players at any position — appears here with his number and class and
nothing invented.
Two-deep from
Ourlads, read 2026-10-11 — ESPN
publishes no depth chart for college football. Numbers and class years are theirs;
the statistics behind each name are this site's own feed, which covers
quarterbacks, running backs, receivers and tight ends, so linemen, defenders and
specialists carry no production here.

Two feeds, and they do not cover the same ground. Quarterbacks, running backs, receivers and tight ends are proven by two rosters, in and out. Defenders are last season’s team leaders in tackles, sacks or interceptions matched to this season’s defensive two-deep, so a defender is here only if he was top three in a category for his old team and turned up on another FBS roster. Nothing on this site tracks a defender to the NFL or out of football, so Out under-counts defensive losses and always will. No offensive lineman appears at all. Ranked by last season’s production. “No FBS roster” means exactly that — not a destination. The whole portal.

Closing lines come from ESPN's odds record for each game, excluding in-game prices. No 2025 game landed exactly on its spread, so there are no pushes in these records. Lines are captured from ESPN's board before kickoff and locked at kickoff, so an in-play price cannot overwrite the number a game is graded against.
