With every college football team’s spring program in the rearview mirror, it means there’s no better time to forecast which teams are well-situated for success in 2023.
Sure, teams will still be active in adding talent following the close of the spring transfer portal, but for the most, the rosters as they stand today will be intact come Week 1.
And with that in mind, ESPN’s Bill Connely has recently updated his SP+ rankings, marking his first update since his first unveiling back in February.
As a quick reminder, his projections take into account three factors: returning production, recent recruiting, and recent history.
There was no shortage of SEC teams in Connely’s latest SP+ rankings with Georgia, Alabama, LSU, and Tennessee clocking in among the top 10. Texas A&M and Ole Miss just missed out on the top 10 but were well situated in the top 20 teams.
