Poll season officially started last week with the release of the USA TODAY Coaches Poll entering the 2022 season. Georgia led the way on that poll with Alabama, Michigan and Cincinnati rounding out the top 4.
Four B1G teams were included in the preseason AP Poll, led by Ohio State at No. 2. The Buckeyes are looking to reclaim the conference and make a return to the College Football Playoff after missing the field last season.
The other B1G teams to enter 2022 ranked by the AP are Michigan, Michigan State and Wisconsin.
