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.

It was an opportunity of a lifetime for new Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer. Days after taking the Washington Huskies to the national championship game, he was handpicked to be Nick Saban's successor in Tuscaloosa. We may never fully know the truth, but he beat out most notably Florida State head coach Mike Norvell for the gig. Norvell probably did not want to leave Tallahassee either.

"I had Ivy League schools that are all academically up there, but only one of those schools could provide a full-ride scholarship and high level football so that was pretty much a no-brainer for me."
