Ranking the top 12 coaches in college football ahead of 2022 season

As the season approaches, College Wire Regional Editor Patrick Conn ranks his top 12 head coaches in college football for 2022.

In just over 11 days we will begin the 2022 college football season. Many teams, Clemson Tigers included, are looking to dethrone the SEC from their mantle.

It has been three consecutive champions hailing from the SEC with the LSU Tigers in 2019, Alabama Crimson Tide in 2020, and this past season with the Georgia Bulldogs. The last non-SEC champion was Clemson in 2018. If fact, it was the Tigers’ second title in three years.

With that being said, our focus today is surrounding the head coaches that are vying to win it all in 2022. The best of the best include several SEC coaches sprinkled in amongst coaches in the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and Pac-12.

This list of coaches ranks where they are viewed heading into the season, not just for what they have accomplished in their careers.
