A look at what the computers say about the nation's top teams entering fall camp next month.

In 2024, however, the usual suspects are at the top of the poll with a couple bluebloods and pair of darkhorses rounding out the top 10. Compared to the 247Sports post-spring rankings, this one looks vastly different toward the back end of the poll, which reflects transfer portal additions, various roster changes and conference-title perception among contenders.

Auburn continues to build for the near and distant future, and doing so in a big way. Hezekiah Harris, who is ranked by 247Sports as the No. 22 player, No. 3 edge rusher and No. 3 player from Alabama in the 2026 class, has committed to Auburn. He had Georgia, LSU and Clemson as other schools heavily in the mix.
