abstract: Simulate college football seasons and compute standings, conference ranks,
  conference champions, and College Football Playoff (CFP) seeds. Implements the official
  season-scoped championship-game tiebreaker procedure of each Football Bowl Subdivision
  (FBS) conference and the CFP's season-keyed automatic-qualifier policies, including
  the 2026 formats. Seasons are simulated week by week with a pluggable results generator,
  and external tiebreaker inputs such as committee rankings or analytics composites
  can be supplied. Adapts the approach of the 'nflseedR' package by Sebastian Carl
  and Lee Sharpe to college football semantics.
