Just to give you a heads up. Starters are considered as being on the two deep.

I'm not sure what this means. There are starters. And there are guys who come off the bench.

Because college football rotates players so much that your "backup" is in the game for nearly as many snaps as the starter, with some positions being the obvious exception.

DL gets the most rotation. WR1, ILB, and CB1 getting among the least along with, obviously, QB. Not uncommon for a deep team to rotate RB, various OL spots, OLB, and their safeties (sometimes, not as common though). Especially if you run more complex schemes on offense or defense.

We rotate DL. But not equal reps.
It would be assinine to rotate an NFL first rounder for a freshman who is talented.

We rotate OLB a lot. RB too. Still not equal reps.

I think you are overstating the usage of 2 deep. Our safeties never got subbed (qb of the defense). They got rotated when the game was in hand.
Our CBs only got pulled after mistakes/injuries.
Our linemen got pulled after mistakes/injuries.

I think it is lazy thinking to blanket statement that the top two depth lines got equal reps.
