Getting key players back is a huge boost for FBS football teams every year. No one wants to have to start from scratch every year.
But, obviously, some teams have more returning production than others as we prepare for the 2022 college football season.
ESPN’s Bill Connelly ranked the 131 FBS squads in terms of returning production, as you can see below. BYU was the No. 1 team in the country. As for the SEC, Mississippi State led the way at No. 12 nationally, returning 80% of its production from 2021:
