The 2024 college football season is finally here.
After a long offseason, the sport returns in all of its glory on Saturday when aptly named Week Zero kicks the season off with four games featuring FBS opponents. The headliner of the opening weekend of the season is the No. 10 Florida State Seminoles taking on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin, Ireland, at noon ET.
While Week Zero will certainly give college football fans a taste of what’s to come, the rest of the sport will return to action on Labor Day weekend.
After eight long months of off-field drama, realignment-based lawsuits and much, much more, the table is set for college football’s most memorable season yet.
With that in mind, here is Sports Illustrated’s college football preseason All-American list.
