Not sexy enough: Hawkeyes not in preseason Top 25

cidsports · Apr 18, 2022

Three point U, not sexy per PFF heading into 2022. Some real interesting reaches though by PFF?

PFF has a new way to early Top 25 heading into the 2022 college football season, light on Big Ten programs!

Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young and the Alabama Crimson Tide lead the charge of Anthony Treash's way too early top-25 college football ranking.

My take, deconstructed a bit, to work in some deserving teams for consideration.

My thoughts, looking at PFF and early Top 25s for 2022:

1-2-3 are three of the best 4 in College Football year in and year out lately
Clemson has two new coordinators & they need to earn a Top 10 ranking, simply convention wisdom, right?
Utah is a reach at 4, but somebody has to be there, & let's not forget they nearly won the Rose Bowl, until QB got knocked out
9-10, Oklahoma & MSU, I like Mel Tucker and OU has been a Top 10 program, other programs need to earn it, right?
Wisconsin is the team to beat in Big Ten West in 2022, right?
Iowa not a Top 25 team, PFF?
They give Kentucky plenty of love, despite holes in the trenches early?
Yep, I like Minnesota heading into 2022, & Purdue, not Penn State, but Nittany Lions can earn a Top 25 road win out of the gate, again?
Yes, I have Ole Miss to high, but I couldn't place Kentucky above them
Miami-FL, Texas and USC need to earn their Top 25 mark, after the season kicks.

Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter weekend!

Happy Tax Day 2022!
