Each press plays a new game from kickoff. Any single game can go either way.

A what-if, not a forecast of a real game. Run or pass comes from each offense's own tendencies in that situation. The yards come from how its plays went all season against how the other defense's opponents did, with each unit's overall level set by its opponent-adjusted grade. Turnovers happen at each side's own rate, pulled toward average. Penalties, returns, injuries, weather and home field are left out, and fourth downs follow a typical coach.

Each team's numbers are from its own season. The bold number is the better one. Ranks and grades are against the other FBS teams of that same season, so a rank from one year and a rank from another are not the same yardstick. Yards and points are plain totals, not adjusted for opponent.
