Each room is drawn against the one it plays: the away offensive line beside the home defensive front, and back again. Quarterbacks, kickers and punters have no opposing room and face their own. Players are ordered exactly as they are on a team's roster tab — by position, then by who has played this season, then production, then recruiting stars, then seasons on a roster — so an offensive line, for which no production is published, runs on stars and then experience. A player who has appeared this season shows that season's totals; everyone else shows career totals through 2021, marked career, at every school he has played for. Long snappers and returners are not drawn.
