Ranking the top 10 coaches in college football for 2024

When we asked our college football reporters to rank the sport's top 10 coaches, we figured there wouldn't be much debate about who is No. 1 -- and there wasn't. Georgia's Kirby Smart, whose Bulldogs are 42-2 over the past three seasons, was the unanimous pick among our 10 voters.

But after that, there was very little consensus.

The only other coach to appear on all 10 ballots was new Alabama head man Kalen DeBoer, but his rankings ranged from second to 10th.

Two coaches appeared on nine ballots: Utah's Kyle Whittingham, whose rankings ranged from three second-place votes to two ninth places, and Florida State's Mike Norvell, whose votes included two second places and two 10ths.
