Auburn football among SEC's most experienced teams in 2023
It's that time of the year.
College football may be in its offseason, but there are plenty of analytical articles and breakdowns that will be released throughout the spring both recapping the 2022 season and preparing us for 2023.
ESPN's Bill Connelly, the GOAT of all things college football statistics, has released his annual college football teams' returning production article ($), which ranks every single FBS team's returning production for the upcoming season.
Auburn, who experienced a decent amount of roster turnover, finds themselves just outside the top 25 at No. 28 nationally in returning overall production. They were 66th last season at 65% and 54th in 2021 at 73%.
The Tigers bring back 71% of their overall production, 72% on offense (44th nationally) and 71% on defense (38th nationally).
The 71% overall is good for 3rd in the SEC, behind Texas A&M (No. 7, 80%) and Missouri (No. 9, 78%).
There are now 133 FBS teams, as Jacksonville State and Sam Houston State have made their way up. Florida State leads all teams returning 87% of their production from a season ago.
Full SP+ projections for the 2023 season will be out next week, according to Connelly.
