The 2022 college football season is still some time away, but it’s never too early to start predicting how the season will go, right? Every conference has teams that are consistently at the top and teams that always hover near the bottom.
In this article, we break down which two teams from every Power Five conference will have a surprisingly good season or a disappointing one.
Sometimes programs rise from the ashes and compete for a conference title, while others take a steep fall from the top and let down their fans and make preseason projections look silly.
Here are the programs we project will either be the biggest surprises or disappointments from their respective conferences.

Now, no one necessarily expects Miami to be bad, but winning the conference is seemingly out of the question in the minds of analysts. Cristobal is an established head coach that brings a certain type of culture with him. He’s got a rising star in quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, let’s see what he can do with the rest of the roster. Be on the lookout for the Hurricanes.
ACC’s biggest disappointment? Pitt.

I bet you were expecting to see Clemson fill this spot after what happened in 2021. Every heavy-hitting program is allowed to have an off year. It’s expected. That being said, Clemson’s not under treacherous waters yet. They should be able to run the Atlantic Division. Pitt, however, has high expectations to meet. Saying the program’s 2022 season will be a disappointment isn’t writing them off completely, just that they won’t be able to match or surpass last year’s performance. Transfer quarterback Kedon Slovis sure helps but losing Kenny Pickett to the draft and Jordan Addison to USC stings.
Big Ten’s biggest surprise? Wisconsin.
