Lebanon, TN – In our 45th season, Collegefootballfan.com smashed our previous record of attending 27 college football games during several previous seasons. In 2024, we attended 31 games, including three College Football Playoff (CFP) games. Among all 31 games, we watched 41 different Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams of 133 compete. Teams from nine of ten FBS Conferences (all except the two-team PAC-12) landed on this season’s slate. Of the new 12-team CFP format, during the regular season and during the playoffs, we attended games played by eight of the teams awarded CFP Bids. Needless to say, we watched some of the best talent in all of college football perform this year.

Our Selection Process

Our selections come from among only teams we saw play in person this season. In many cases, we considered performances we actually witnessed to initiate our selections. Secondly, we considered player evaluations based on year-end statistics and other All-American awards announced at the end of this season. We definitely had a great time attending these games and compiling information to announce these teams.

Watch for our annual draft pictorial in April

In a few months, we will post our annual Draft Picks Pictorials. Many of those you see listed here on our All-American Team could potentially be among those featured among choices throughout the 2025 Draft in April. Our only regret comes from the fact that our camera work wasn’t as good this year. We will work that out for next year primarily by getting a better, more durable camera. Good news, however, in some cases, we have better photos from the past several years of some of the same players. We took better quality pictures then.

Check out our teams below. We feel that they merit the same honors as awarded by many other media outlets. You’ll note many top players, but also some that will surprise you now. In the future at the next level, some of these could become household names. You never know!

2024 Season Wrap-up

After Monday night’s CFP Championship Game, we will post our end of the season summary. Also, look for our information about our guest appearance on an NPR Travel Podcast about College Football Tailgating. To be released before the Super Bowl, several of the tailgaters at our 700th Game between Notre Dame and Navy in the Meadowlands will be featured on it.

Also, we intend to offer features every two weeks, with Monday reports called “Steveo’s Salvos.” They will include happenings, blurbs and our input regarding what’s going on in college football. We have some interesting insights regarding NILs and how they’re not only helping several powerhouses. We find that they are also impacting some programs that will surprise you. Look for our updates regularly. More to come. We already have plans for our 2025 schedule. We have another possibility for our 750th game. Probably in 2027! It’ll be her before we know it.
