Wow
Mind blown
Had no clue we would be so green
Seems like we have enough talent to overcome our lack of snaps/player
Here's hoping

Woah, Nelly! Had no idea we were that young compared to others on a national level. We've got a bunch of talent so that makes up for a lot. I still feel confident, of course I'm ignorant.

youngest, but had no way of compiling it on other teams. Steele's formula seems reasonable and his data base is fairly perpetual.... It's only going to get better and our biggest concern is the undergraduates declaring early. That's a nice problem to have. Thanks for the link....+1.

It is very hard to keep your most experienced snap count players when they are leaving for the NFL as college Jrs. At the talent level Dabo and staff are recruiting at, red shirting just throws away a season of using their talent. The best thing that could happen for college FB and the fans who prefer college FB over the NFL, would be to stop Jrs from entering the NFL. By the 2nd or 3d year after Jrs were off limits to the NFL, college FB would start looking like a Jr NFL league with the now more talented than ever younger players with another year of experience still playing in college, and not the NFL!!! When Jrs leave early, it weakens college FB, and if it's a lot of Jrs leaving the same team early, it can cripple that team for 1 or 2 straight seasons trying to replace all that young talent. Either stop Jrs from leaving early, or raise the scholarship numbers from 85 to 110 scholarship players on a roster every year.

That would be great, but I think seeing it happen is a pipe dream. The good news is that all elite programs are more or less equally affected, so I don't see any competitive advantage for anyone.

the list, because those are the teams with players talented enough to leave early.

Yep. There are four teams in the 'youngest seven' that stand out for sure.
