So this might be the best weekend left on the CFB calendar. Every single window on Saturday seems to have a full quad box of super important, high octane, marquee matchups. There are four total top 15 matchups! That is an insane amount and because of that, will probably be one of the most rewatched weekends when it comes time to dig into the tape.
To those of you who are new to this prospect schedule, this is a personally curated collection of matchups between draft eligible players this weekend where there are individual matchups on both sides of the ball. An example is: we know CJ Carr is going to really have to compete vs a tough BYU defense and we will learn more from the tape this week than his game against Stanford. So if you say wHy is dYlAN stEwARt noT iN tHe LIst tHis wEEk?? I'll know you can't read.
Think of this list as a shorthand for what matchups to key in on as you quad-box up on Saturday, or to jump into first once your All-22 provider gets everything uploaded next week.
Enough of my rambling, games!

Ok, that is all. If you want to have this delivered to you, along with all my other prospect evaluations and everything else I do, sign up here!
P.S. To all of you who read all the way to the end, starting a new job over the past month and a half has brought my capacity wayyyyy down. It's been fun and amazing, but means that my free time now must be more focused, like on the CFDB Pick Em (Need a better week to get back on top of the leaderboard! My entry is u/wahoo08) and now the return of the Big Data Bowl, where I do not quite know what I am going to do yet. Becuase of that, do not expect too much from me outside of schedules and an occasional other post until the EOY, but I am still planning on making a full draft guide again this year in the new year.
