Didn’t realize SC had so many coming back. Combined with a stellar recruiting haul from the 2026 cycle, not surprising some are placing you guys in the playoffs for 2026.
But…..these types of lists can be flawed in figuring out which teams will rise to the top for the coming season.
For instance, I’ll take Oregon’s two returning true freshman RBs from 2025 over Noah Whittington any day. Guessing most teams are in similar situations where there is better quality with more upside coming in at certain positions than was there before.
