The college football world is getting ready to hit the ground running in the next few weeks as the start of the 2024 season begins at the end of the month. It is guaranteed to be a wild season that is filled with changes at every corner of the sport, from new teams in new conferences and an expanded College Football Playoff.
As we get ready for the season to begin, various preseason rankings are coming out from some of the to publications. We’ve already looked at where the Oregon Ducks rank in the US LBM Coaches Poll, as well as where Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt sees Dan Lanning’s team going into the year.
Both of those rankings only incorporate the top 25 teams in the nation, though, so it’s hard to get a feel for where the other members of the Big Ten Conference stand. For that, we look to the CBS Sports 1-134 rankings, where every team in Division 1 has a place.
Here’s where all of the Big Ten teams rank according to CBS Sports:
