A look at what the computers say about the nation's top teams entering fall camp next month. ESPN's Football Power Index top 25 is always one of the most opined preseason rankings because of its wide variance in comparison to others. 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.

The best indicator for the Oklahoma Sooners’ first season in the SEC begins this week at the fall training camp. Head coach Brent Venables, who just received a contract extension this summer, is undoubtedly looking to see some major developments. This preseason, he’s starting with a patchwork offensive line and a defensive backfield rife with position battles. If nobody stands out, it could make creating the depth chart, let alone surviving the season, a real challenge.
