Athlon Sports recently ranked the top college football rosters for the 2022 season by referencing where each program finished in the last five recruiting rankings.
Using 247Sports’ Team Composite rankings, Athlon was able to take an average of where each team has finished to determine its rankings of the most talented rosters for this coming season.
“Obviously, this doesn’t take into account attrition,” wrote Steve Lassan of Athlon Sports. “However, with a five-year window in place, this should be considered relatively even across the conference.”
For Georgia, the Bulldogs have finished No. 3 (2022), 4 (2021), 1 (2020), 2 (2019) and 1 (2018) in the last five classes, giving them an average recruiting ranking of No. 2.2 over the last five cycles.
Let’s see where that puts Georgia in the roster-rankings for 2022.
