Rankings train has reached its final stop for 2023: the group rankings.By now, we have actually broken down the outlooks for

quarterbacks, defenses and offenses for the next three seasons: 2023, 2024 and 2025. FPR does not get too wrapped up in existing lineups, especially if substantial turnover is on the horizon. Performance history matter, as specific programs and coaches have actually made the benefit of the doubt. So does recruiting and the transfer portal, an increasingly substantial consider shaping personnel projections.The three previous 2023 breakdowns aren’t the only predictors for the group rundown, however they definitely inform the viewpoint. Some teams that didn’t rate well in one particular category still made it in the total rundown because their trendlines are appealing. There aren’t lots of surprises at the top.At its core, FPR is a personnel-based projection, and it examines how present and future players will affect

efficiency for their teams. Current recruiting or projected success in 2023 carries weight. However some programs regularly outperform their recruiting rankings and be worthy of to be recognized properly in the group list.Alabama has led off the past two team rankings, however there’s a brand-new No. 1 group this year, which will surprise no one. The 2022 rankings had Texas A&M at No. 4, a prediction that absolutely failed, and left out TCU totally. But appealing projections for teams like Michigan, USC and LSU worked out.Now it’s time to rank college football’s top 25 groups throughout the next three seasons. 2023 Future QB ranking: 4 2023 Future defense ranking: 1 2023 Future offense ranking: 3 2022 Future team ranking: 2
