While we continue to hear about OSU's exceptional experience, it's interesting to compare the total number of returning starts for the top 20 college football teams in this category. Surprisingly, There are no other B1G teams on this list.

Per 247sports.com

One reason so many people are predicting Ohio State to repeat is because of the returning talent from last season's national championship team. According to the cfbmatrix.com numbers, the Buckeyes are No. 3 in the country in returning starts with 246. OSU trails only Temple (260) and Boise State (250).

Below is the list of the top 20 teams and their returning number of starts.

1. Temple - 260 
2. Boise State - 250
