Each column is a position with its men in depth order, top to bottom; the offensive line is split into its five spots. Bold is a starter - the same starters the player cards and the pickers use - and a man reported out is struck through (Q questionable, D doubtful, P probable; hover a flag for the report). Under each name: his year, number and, where the depth chart gives one, his role or share of snaps. Deeper men are counted, not listed. Starters come from the maintained depth chart (cfbdepth.com); the number on each card below is EA's launch rating, the line under it what CFBD has measured this season.
