As teams are about to shift from out of conference games to a conference slate, Joel Klatt ranked the top eight teams in each power conference.
We're now three weeks into the 2024 college football season, so I figured this might be a good time to power rank the top teams in each of the four power conferences, especially with conference play about to really get going for most teams across the nation. As we enter Week 4, we've got a much better idea about who these teams are than we did in the preseason.
. It's still a quality win though. Illinois takes on Nebraska on Friday , and that game should tell us everything we need to know about Tiers 3 and 4. Illinois could play its way up a tier or Nebraska could pass Penn State and threaten to be a Tier 2 team. Honorable mention: Indiana , Rutgers 1. Texas The SEC is the conference that I think has changed the most dramatically since the start of the season.
We need to start paying attention to more. It has two road wins against Big 12 teams and it has an opportunity to possibly break through here and make some noise. 5. Fresno State Fresno State just beat New Mexico State, 48-0. That might not stand out to you, but New Mexico State played Liberty close. Fresno State and Liberty are comparable in the Group of 5, so edge Fresno State here. Joel Klatt is FOX Sports' lead college football game analyst and the host of the podcast 'The Joel Klatt Show.
