Preseason Top 10 in Class 5A, 4A, 3A

As the 2024 CHSAA football season kicks off with Week 0 this week, here are The Denver Post’s big-school football rankings. These rankings will be updated weekly throughout the season.

Class 5A

1. Cherry Creek (13-1): FBS talent all over the field, an experienced quarterback and coach Dave Logan. Tough to beat.

2. Mountain Vista (9-3): While most of 5A reloads, Golden Eagles have experience all over the field … and QB Austyn Modrzewski.

3. Legend (9-4): Coach Monte Thelen has built a machine in Parker. The Titans are your 5A dark horse.

4. Columbine (14-0): Defending champs have a lot to replace. But coach Andy Lowry almost always finds a way.

5. Regis Jesuit (6-5): Raiders will play anyone anywhere. Last year’s rough road should have them ready for 2024.

6. Ralston Valley (10-3): Exit of QB Logan Madden and strong Class of 2024 will be difficult to replace.

7. Grandview (8-5): Speaking of QB departures, there’s no more Liam Szarka in Aurora. Back to ground-and-pound at Grandview?

8. Arapahoe (8-3): There was a point last fall when the Warriors looked like the best team in 5A.

9. Valor Christian (6-5): Addition of offensive coordinator Bob Stitt is going to make Eagles must-watch football.

10. Arvada West (5-6): A young Wildcats roster was dangerous by the end of 2023. What will they have in store for 2024?

Class 4A

1. Broomfield (10-3): Year 2 with Robert O’Brien wearing the headset and lots of talent back in blue. Watch out for the Eagles.

2. Palmer Ridge (13-1): Bears were a win away from perfection in ’23. Time to fill in the gaps with several starters graduated.
