Georgia, Ohio State, Florida State and Kansas State are projected to win their respective conferences next season. However, several under-the-radar teams are capable of knocking them off their pedestal ahead of the 2024 college football season.

Pate defined “sleeper teams” as those outside the top 2-3 in their conference standings coming out of spring practice. National pundits are overlooking the four selections for various reasons.
