## Editorial Standard
Articles in the public archive must include meaningful roster or depth chart context, at least 500 words of original analysis, a Sources Checked section, and multiple external source links. Older unverified or thin articles are not included in sitemap, archive pages, search APIs, RSS, or Atom feeds.

## Tool Methodology
The Depth Chart Stability Tool scores roster clarity from local depth chart structure, first-string listings, active depth, availability notes, transfer/newcomer signals, and class experience. The Team Position Battle Tool uses the same local model to compare two teams by position group. The Roster Shockwave Simulator models what-if player unavailability scenarios from local depth chart order only; it does not report actual injuries, transfers, or team decisions. These are editorial tools for comparing roster clarity, not official team rankings or win projections.

## Data Sources
- Official team athletics websites for schedules, rosters, and team announcements
- Conference schedule pages and announcements from the SEC and Big 12
- Broadcast/network sources such as ABC, ESPN, FOX, NBC, and Peacock where applicable
- Reputable reporting used only as supporting context when official sources are unavailable
