How we picked these
One top-10 DFW program, Mansfield Lake Ridge, is not on the board because no schedule row placed it in this window. No games were hand-added and no rows were dropped.
The ranking counts only Division 1 offers, FBS or FCS. Each player's own figure above is their total verified offers on file, so a player's number can sit a notch above the Division 1 count when a school outside that group has also offered. Offer counts and roster attribution were pulled on 2026-09-08 from our own offer feed. Kickoff times are left off on purpose: no source we read published a time we could corroborate, so each game line prints the home city and state rather than an unverified time. Home sites come from each school's published schedule, and the slate covers games from September 10 to September 13.
