After Saturday

Tape becomes a receipt

College football matters here only when it changes the draft file—and we show the before and after.

  1. 01

    Question

    The disagreement is published before kickoff, while the call can still be judged.

  2. 02

    Chart

    Reps, role, and opponent context enter the file. A win or box score does not move a grade by itself.

  3. 03

    Publish

    Any board move returns with the reason and the earlier rank still on the record.
