The 2024 college football season should start with teams in a few distinct tiers at the top of the rankings.
The Georgia Bulldogs and Ohio State Buckeyes went one-two in the preseason Coaches Poll and should do the same in the first AP Top 25 of the season that gets released on Monday at Noon ET.
UGA and Ohio State appear to be the best teams on paper and are the preseason favorites to win the expanded SEC and Big Ten.
The Oregon Ducks and Texas Longhorns are viewed as the clear No. 2 to each team in their respective conferences.
