For almost all of the teams ranked 26 to 75 in the final CFN regular season rankings of 2024, there’s still more to do. There’s another chance in a bowl to up the final ranking, or crash down with a bad performance if everyone is missing.
Most of these teams had plenty of positives, came through with some great moments, and for the most part, can call 2024 a success. They’re the middle of the pack teams that beefed up the season and made it interest week after week.
They’re the teams outside the top 25, to the ones just outside of the bottom tier. Before we do this with the cold numbers and analysis, here’s what we think of them and the seasons they had.
