We look past the top 24 if we see that we cannot create a solid list of 24 just by reordering. If we find that a team ranked higher than 24 does not deserve to be there, we push them down to a "free fall" list, and if there are enough of the fallers in the top 24, we start pulling teams up who weren't initially in the top 24.

So, sometimes the original 24 makes a good list when it is simply reordered for us, but as you brought up, sometimes we search deeper than that. 24 is just a general starting cutoff for us.
