Editorial Standards

METHODOLOGY

How we build depth chart projections, evaluate roster movement, and decide what appears in the main archive.

What We Track

Texas Football Depth Chart focuses on projected two-deep movement, position battles, player availability, transfer portal impact, signing class additions, staff changes that alter scheme usage, and game participation trends that may affect future rotations.

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. Team pages are unofficial unless a school has released a formal depth chart, and even official charts can change after practices, injuries, suspensions, transfers, or game-plan adjustments.

Article Quality Standard

Articles promoted in the main archive must include roster relevance, position group context, and a depth chart takeaway. Brief news notes remain accessible for users who have the direct link, but they are held out of the main archive and sitemap until expanded.

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.
