Data on NCAA D1 returning starters?
Anywhere I could find data on returning starters for each D1 team?

Buy the Athlon preseason magazine, but I wouldn't consider those to be 100% accurate. Besides, there is the question "what constitutes a returning starter"? Does starting 2 or 3 games make you a returning starter? 8 games? 12?

Avg six year computer ranking previous season computer ranking # returning starters Maybe another one for recruiting class rank. I know the data would be spotty but if you took it from one source, you'd expect the methodology to be consistent one team to another. |

You need separate variables for QBs:
Returning starting QB? Number of years in college (regardless of returning starter status) |

Though for a QB, I found from previous analysis that starting experience is more important than class in school. i.e. Jr with one year starting experience can be expected to do better than Sr with no starting experience. |
