The Bulldogs remain in the top spot, but the Buckeyes are lurking after making a splash this offseason
The college football landscape has changed drastically since Jan. 9. That day, we gave you the annual way-too-early top 25 rankings looking ahead to the 2024 season just as Michigan had won the College Football Playoff National Championship. It wasn’t long, however, for those rankings to quickly be proven outdated.
Not only was there a plethora of movement in the transfer portal, but we also took a ride on one of the wildest coaching carousels in recent memory. At least 10 of the 25 teams you see below have changed head coaches — a list that, of course, includes the reigning national champions — and/or at least one coordinator since the second week of January.
That’s why this refresh is necessary with spring practices getting underway across the country. This pre-spring top 25 takes all the movements into consideration as some new teams even enter the fold. As an indicator of just how much has changed, we’re including the teams’ ranking from the way-too-early top 25 in January.
