Talent & Recruiting
Recruiting and roster talent look at who joined a program; returning usage estimates how much prior offensive involvement comes back. These are context for expectations, not a promise of wins.
What do these numbers mean?
CFBD roster talent index based on recruiting evaluations. This measures incoming talent estimates, not current wins or on-field performance.
FBS placement by the roster talent index. Lower rank is stronger.
Share of the team's prior offensive usage attributed to returning players. This is not a count of returning starters or snaps.
Average national recruiting-class rank among the five years with published data. Lower is stronger; missing years are excluded, not treated as last place.
Number of recruiting classes with a published rank included in the five-year average.
