Rankings from AP Poll

The 2022 American Athletic Conference football season is the 31st NCAA Division I FBS Football season of the American Athletic Conference (The American). The season is the tenth since the former Big East Conference dissolved and became the American Athletic Conference and the ninth season of the College Football Playoff in place. The American is considered a member of the Group of Five (G5) together with Conference USA, the MAC, Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference. In September 2021, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF accepted invitations to join the Big 12 Conference.[1] The three schools had been contractually required to remain with The American through 2024, but the conference and its departing members reached a buyout agreement that allowed those schools to leave in 2023.[2]

Previous season[edit]

Cincinnati finished with a 13–1 (8–0 AAC) record, winning the AAC Championship Game against Houston. It was the second consecutive AAC championship and third consecutive AAC Championship game appearance in program history. The Bearcats were ranked fourth in the final College Football Playoff rankings, thus becoming the first Group of Five team to make the playoffs.[3] After the Bearcats loss to Alabama in the Cotton Bowl, Cincinnati finished fourth in the final AP Poll marking the best finish in program history.

Seven AAC teams participated in bowl games during the 2021 season; the league finished 4–1.

Tulsa defeated Old Dominion 30–17 in the Myrtle Beach Bowl. With the win, Tulsa concluded their season with an 7–6 record.[4] With the win, Tulsa achieved their first bowl win since the 2016 Miami Beach Bowl[5] In the 2021 Gasparilla Bowl, UCF defeated Florida 29–17, behind standout performances by wide receiver, and game MVP, Ryan O'Keefe and running back Isiah Bowser.[6] In the Birmingham Bowl, No. 20 Houston defeated Auburn 17–13.[7] Cincinnati was selected to participate in the Cotton Bowl as part of the College Football Playoff against Alabama. The Bearcats lost to the Crimson Tide 27–6.[8]

Three bowl games involving American teams were cancelled due to COVID-19: Memphis was slated to play in the Hawaii Bowl versus Hawaii. Hawaii had to withdraw from the bowl due to a shortage of available players, stemming from a combination of a COVID-19 outbreak within the team, players already out with injury, and players who transferred away from the school at the conclusion of the regular season.[9] East Carolina was slated to play in the Military Bowl versus Boston College, the game was cancelled after Boston College said it did not have enough players to field a team because of coronavirus issues, season-ending injuries, opt-outs and transfers.[10] SMU was originally slated to play in the Fenway Bowl versus Virginia. Virginia had to withdraw from the game due to a number of COVID cases impacting its roster.[11]

All-Americans[edit]

For the complete All-America selections, see 2022 College Football All-America Team.

The 2022 College Football All-America Team is composed of the following College Football All-American first teams chosen by the following selector organizations: Associated Press (AP), Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Walter Camp Foundation (WCFF), Sporting News (TSN, from its historic name of The Sporting News), Sports Illustrated (SI), The Athletic (Athletic), USA Today (USAT) ESPN, CBS Sports (CBS), College Football News (CFN), Athlon Sports, Phil Steele, and Fox Sports (FOX).

Currently, the NCAA compiles consensus all-America teams using a point system computed from All-America teams named by coaches associations or media sources. Players are chosen against other players playing at their position only. To be selected a consensus All-American, players must be chosen to the first team on at least half of the five official selectors as recognized by the NCAA. Second- and third-team honors are used to break ties. Players named first-team by all five selectors are deemed unanimous All-Americans. Currently, the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN, and the WCFF to determine consensus and unanimous All-Americans.[70]
