College props on this site are read on form and the matchup, not on price. A prop appears when the player has cleared the line in at least 60% of his games across this season and last, at least two books quote it, and the matchup does not argue against it. The price is the best among the books quoting the line, with the next best named beside it. Early in a season the samples are small, and each read says how small.

College props on this site are read on form and the matchup, not on price, and none of it is called an edge. The Lab's card is a separate five-pick slate selected across every market, and it is graded on the public record.
Where the record lives: the Lab's public record starts Sep 25, 2026, the card and the boosts together, with every pick and every loss on the results page. Each prop above is frozen with the exact price and book shown from the moment it was published. These angles are not on that graded record; the card and the boosts are.
