A quadbox plan for the day — the 4 best games to have on at every point, ranked by projected competitiveness, pace, ranked-team stakes, and rivalries. Once games kick off it re-ranks on the live score (ESPN): a one-score game late jumps the board, a blowout drops to the bench.

Windows use an estimated ~3h40m per game and a 45-min kickoff-clustering window, and change only when the top 4 actually change. Live scores come from ESPN on each refresh — a finished game frees its slot, an in-progress one holds it even if it runs long. Once a later window starts, the finished ones collapse into “earlier windows today.”
