Athlon's podcast went over the returning starters team by team for the vast majority of the P5 today. I actually think they are giving Iowa too many returning starters as they say Iowa has 9 back on O and 8 on D. Early on in the podcast they give their criteria for a returning starter. According to Athlon Iowa,NC State,Miss State, and Kansas have the most returning starters in the P5 with 17 each. The whole podcast is very good but if you want to only listen to a little start out at the 53:50 mark or the 43:50 mark.
