College Football Rankings 2024: CFN Preseason 11 to 25, Notre Dame to Iowa

Several of these teams could be in the preseason top ten, and unlike past seasons, the ones at the end of the top 25 definitely belong.

Every team on this list is good enough to have a real shot to be a big player this season, but the schedules for some might be too much to deal with.

They're the ones just outside of the top ten, and they're all about to be in for a fun ride this season.
