Draft legends. Let the record prove it.

The daily board deals one shared roster for the calendar day. A free run gives you new eras each time. Blind draft hides the production so you are drafting on the name a program made for itself. Salary cap puts a budget on it and forces you to leave somebody out.

Deep into the sport's early decades and forward to the current game. Every card is one real college season — the yards, the touchdowns, the tackles that season produced — and it is the college years that are rated, not what the player did afterwards in a professional league.

Not here, and that is deliberate. Plenty of the most dominant college seasons ever played belonged to players who never translated, and several quiet college careers turned into professional greatness. This board scores what happened on Saturdays.

Each season is judged against the game as it was played that year. A single-wing season from the 1930s and a modern spread season are nothing alike statistically, so both are measured against their own decade instead of against a common yardstick that would flatter only one of them.

Programs are identified by a place and range of years, spread across the conferences that have actually produced the sport's history rather than only the ones winning now. That place-and-era label determines the eligible player-season pool.

One roster per day, identical worldwide. Draft it, let the season simulate, and your record goes on that day's shared table. Because the spins are the same for everybody, the argument afterwards is about the picks and nothing else.

134 programs are on the board, each split into real eras. College rosters turn over every few years, so a program's 1990s teams and its 2010s teams are genuinely separate spins.

Yes. A roster can pair a 1980s runner with a modern quarterback, because each seat comes from the era spun rather than from one recruiting class.

Quarterback carries the most weight, then balance across offence and defence. With so many programs on the board the depth of talent varies enormously by era, so the spin often decides more than the strategy does.

No. The archive reaches back to 1920 across more programs than any professional league here, so most of what the board deals is history rather than this season's roster.

Consensus All-American, Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award and the rest. College honours are how a player is remembered before a professional career either confirms or buries the memory.

From 1920 across more programs than any professional league here, and 1364 hall-of-fame figures — the largest such list on the site, because the sport has had that many more players.
