I guess I always had the mental image of a gap/spill concept meaning that all of the gaps are filled and assigned at the start. Like that the gaps were the pre-identified 1,3,5,7 on left (?) and 2,4,6,8 on the right (?), and that the front seven (plus DBs in a run-scenario) had all of those gaps assigned, with one defender unblocked. Never really considered that something like a pulling lineman would then create two gaps where one gap existed pre-snap. And the more I think about it, the more complex it gets.

Not going to go down this mental rabbit hole much further, but yeah, I grok now that it's much more complex than I originally thought.

The scale actually starts at 0:

0-10 watched a football movie once

10-20 high potential for watching NFL/college games one or more times a year

20-30 will likely join a fantasy football league at some point in their life

30-40 joins message boards to discuss football teams. Begins to do draft research for fantasy league most likely.

40-50 regular contender for fantasy football playoffs with occasional championship. High leg count.

50-60 you actually played football at some point, potential ceiling is middle school or JV starter

60-70 solid starter on varsity team. Potential ceiling is dreaming about the playing years and swapping stories about the big game with your buddies.

70-80 your bread and butter walk on for college athletics. Potential ceiling is being featured in multiple episodes of Hard Knocks when you make it to the league.

Here you go:

Four-stars (90-97 rating): These are players that we believe are the most likely to produce college careers that get them drafted. By the end of the cycle, it will be populated by prospects that meet key thresholds. Some four-stars might be a longer burn than others, but they have separated themselves from the rest of the pack and almost always for more than just one singular reason.

89 - This grade should be valued as much as a four-star 90, and opinions are likely split as to whether or not that prospect should have a fourth star. Anyone holding a grade of an 89 when the rankings go final at the end of the cycle is a prospect that we feel strongly about. These are prospects with redeeming qualities that we think can get drafted or work their way into an NFL camp. They project as multi-year starters and impact players at the Power Four level.

88 - These prospects have what we are looking for in certain areas, but maybe lack something in others. They too project as multi-year starters at the Power Four level and potential difference-makers with NFL upside. For example, he could be an edge rusher with great tape and on-field production, but below average measurables. These are likely individuals with a higher floor. If a prospect has a grade of an 88, they are considered a top 600 player in the class.

87 - Any prospect found here usually has one key trait that signals long-term potential. The floor might be going to be lower than some of the prospects ranked ahead of them, but they have a higher ceiling than the prospects below them.

86-84 - These are the prospects that we don't view as future NFL players, but can play – and start – at the Power 4 level. There will certainly be individuals that out play their projections, but this range is reserved for multi-year contributors and depth additions.

83-81 - Group of Five starters, FCS impact players

80-70 - Group of Five depth players, FCS starters

The problem with this is that then the ratings for the ACC/B12/G5 drop and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. I wish there was a way to show support just for the non SEC/B10 portions of the sport.
