How to read it: each cell is one week's opponent, colored by how generous that defense has been to the position (hover a cell for the matchup). The Tide Score is dead simple on purpose: every defense ranks 1–32 against your position, and we average the whole slate. A 21.6 means the average defense he'll face ranks 21.6 of 32 — soft water. Same math as the schedule strips on every other board. It's the published schedule plus points-allowed facts, not a projection: defenses change year to year, and you know that better than a color does.
