Two human polls and a committee's selections comprise the 2024 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III football rankings for the 2024 season. Unlike in Division I's Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the NCAA, Division III's college football's governing body, bestows a national championship on the winner of the Stagg Bowl – the championship round of a 32-team postseason tournament. The main weekly poll that begins in the preseason is the D3football.com Poll which ranks the top 25 colleges in Division III football. For the first time in AFCA history they released a preseason poll for DIII in 2024.
