The 2022 Conference USA football season was the 27th season of college football play for Conference USA (C-USA). The season started on August 27, 2022, and is ended on January 31, 2023.[1] The conference consisted of 11 members and was part of the 2022 NCAA Division I FBS football season.
Previous season
[edit]The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers won the East Division, while the UTSA Roadrunners won the West Division. In the 2021 Conference USA Football Championship Game, the Roadrunners defeated the Hilltoppers 49-41.
Conference realignment
[edit]Prior to the 2022 season, Conference USA shrank to 11 schools, as previous members Marshall, Old Dominion, and Southern Miss all departed to join the Sun Belt Conference as full members. The move was first announced with the release of the Sun Belt's football schedule on March 1,[2] and confirmed on March 29 when C-USA and the three departing schools reached a settlement of a legal dispute over their departure date.[3]
The 2022 season is the last for six schools in the conference. Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, North Texas, Rice, UAB, and UTSA all left the Conference USA in July 2023 to join the American Athletic Conference. Liberty, New Mexico State, Jacksonville State, and Sam Houston joined the Conference USA in 2023 to replace departing members.[4]

All-Americans
[edit]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), The Sporting News (TSN), Sports Illustrated (SI), USA Today (USAT) ESPN, CBS Sports (CBS), FOX Sports (FOX) College Football News (CFN), Bleacher Report (BR), Scout.com, Phil Steele (PS), SB Nation (SB), Athlon Sports, Pro Football Focus (PFF) and Yahoo! Sports (Yahoo!).
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.[62]
