You can call it upheaval or evolution or simply new football. But we all know that rosters are made to be broken in this different world.

And in America’s League, it is enough to make your head spin. He’s playing there? But I thought he was here. You almost have to study the rosters of the SEC just to refresh your memories on the starting quarterbacks for each team.

This is college football, and it’s not going to make us root any differently. We just have to get to know the players a little better.
