Using the Depth Charts

METHODOLOGY

How to read our projected lineups, player notes and roster analysis.

What We Track

The depth charts list projected starters and backups for eight Texas FBS programs. Player notes cover availability, transfers and position changes.

Source Hierarchy

Primary

Official team rosters, game notes, box scores, conference announcements, and coach availability comments.

Supporting

Reputable beat reporting, national college football coverage, recruiting services, and transfer portal reporting.

Contextual

Prior snap usage, returning production, injury history, roster construction, and scheme fit.

Projection Rules

A player is listed as a projected starter when public information supports first-team usage, returning role security, or a clear roster path. If a role is unsettled, status notes such as transfer-in, limited, competing, or injury-related availability are used instead of presenting certainty.

We separate reported facts from editorial projection. Our team pages remain unofficial projections. Links to school-published charts are provided where available; game-day assignments can still change.

Article Sources

Our articles cover position battles, player availability and the impact of games and transfers on each team’s lineup. Sources are linked within the articles.

Corrections

Corrections can be sent through the contact page. We review proposed changes against public sources before updating a projection, status note, record, or article.
