ESPN ranks CFB teams with most ‘returning production’ — Where’s Georgia?

The 2022 Georgia Bulldogs will enter the season as the defending national champions but will have a very new look after losing a huge number of guys to the NFL draft and the NCAA transfer portal.

ESPN’s Bill Connelly recently released his returning production rankings, which takes a look at which programs return the most production from last year’s teams. This category is one of the three factors that go into his SP+ rankings and account for a majority of the formula.

Georgia checked in at No. 96 in the rankings, returning 59 percent of its production from last season. Connelly breaks it down even more – by offensive and defensive production. Georgia returns 73 percent on offense (43rd nationally) and 44 percent on defense (122nd nationally).
