Bill Connely S&P Production Returning for 2019 Rankings

Some different sections:

Offensive line starters returning doesn't have as big of an effect as you would think, receiving production is important
Defensive starters returning is much more important than offensive starters
The SEC will likely be the best conference next year with its top teams returning most of its players
The final 2018 top 10(S&P) rearranged based on returning production: LSU, FLorida, Clemson, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Bama, Michigan, Georgia, Auburn, Mississippi State
Utah should be the Pac 12 favorite
Texas has the least amount of returning in the entire power 5 and everybody needs to shut up about them being good, they lose their top rusher, receiver, 3 all Big12 Olineman, their top 3 Dlineman, top 2 linebackers, and 3/5 of their top DBs
Ohio State is 62nd in returning production but has 85% of defensive production back which is very high and has the potential for the best D in the country. Only 42% of Offensive production is pretty low but can be offset by Justin Fields and Dobbins taking more carries. Biggest concern is receiver production lost
