Trappertunity is the schedule lens

Context

The episode's most reusable idea is Trappertunity: a calendar lens for finding spots where a favorite's real problem is not the opponent's ranking but the schedule situation. The show looks for letdowns, look-aheads, short weeks, body-clock travel, rivalry hangovers, and cross-country road trips.

That lens lets the show surface games that ordinary ranked-vs-ranked inventory misses: Oklahoma-New Mexico between Michigan and Georgia, Clemson at Cal before Miami, USC at Wisconsin before Ohio State, SMU at Stanford after Notre Dame, and several November sandwich spots.
