As college football gears up for the 2024 season, fans in Texas and Nebraska have received some exciting news regarding the preseason Power 10 rankings. Both states have strong teams that are setting their sights on a great season filled with competition and thrilling matchups.
This year, the college football landscape is undergoing a big makeover due to conference realignment. This shift largely affects teams that were previously in the Pac-12, but there are many teams making moves that will shake things up across the board. Notably, the ACC has now added Stanford, California, and SMU. The addition of these schools emphasizes how much the conference has evolved, as they expand their reach beyond traditional East Coast programs.
Meanwhile, the Big Ten has also made headlines, welcoming four new teams, including Oregon, Southern California (USC), and UCLA. This expansion highlights their aim to remain a dominant force in college football. It’s even reflected in their updated “Maps” commercial, which now features a broader geographic coverage that includes Seattle, Washington.
The Big 12 is not left behind either, having added several teams such as Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah to join their ranks after the departure of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC. The Big 12 is now poised for a new chapter, with a total of 16 members, marking a shift in power in the college football world.
Meanwhile, the SEC‘s acquisition of Texas and Oklahoma only intensifies the competition. Though they’ve joined a prestigious conference boasting 16 teams, the road ahead won’t be easy, especially with key games against formidable foes like Michigan and Georgia. The challenges presented this season promise to create a thrilling atmosphere as teams vie for supremacy.
With all these changes, fans are encouraged to keep an eye on the college football schedule to catch all the exciting games coming our way in the 2024 season. Your favorite teams are ready, and it’s time to see how these new setups translate on the field.
