Preseason College Football Rankings 2022: Experts React to AP NCAA Top 25 Poll

Last week, the first USA TODAY Coaches Poll rankings gave us our first glimpse at the potential structure of power in college football heading into the 2022-23 season.

In that 25-team poll, Alabama came in at No. 1, and the top five included, in order, Ohio State, Georgia, Clemson and Notre Dame.

Voters for the Coaches Poll are composed of 65 FBS head coaches.

On Monday, the AP Top 25 followed suit, with those rankings determined by a panel of 62 sportswriters and broadcasters. The AP Top 25 is the longest-running poll of those that award national titles at season's end.
