Coaches are scrutinizing new rotations, particularly with TCU's Jaden Craig set to make his first Power Four start against North Carolina. The dynamic among teams during Week 0 can significantly affect drafting strategies as players like Hawaii's Jackson Harris once demonstrated in previous seasons.
