This article covers eight teams that failed to live up to expectations in the 2022 season.
1. Texas A&M (5-7)
The award for biggest underachievement in years goes to Jimbo Fisher and his Texas A&M Aggies. They had the best recruiting class ever and started the season ranked sixth. They ended up losing to App State and then losing six more games after that. They finished 2-6 in SEC play which was good for dead last in the West. Things need to change in College Station, and I don’t know if hiring Bobby Petrino is going to be what fixes it.

2. Oklahoma (6-7)
Oklahoma lost their head coach, quarterback, and many other players during the offseason, but they hired Brett Venables and had a good transfer class that included UCF star quarterback Dillon Gabriel. With all that being said, many people still saw Oklahoma as the favorite to win the Big 12. That did not happen, in fact, they weren’t even close. The Sooners finished with a losing record after losing to Florida State in the Cheez-it Bowl. I still have faith in Venables, I believe he needs time to mold the program to his liking.

3. Michigan State (5-7)
Michigan State fooled people into believing that they were for real and that 2021 wasn’t a fluke season. That was until they started playing in 2022. The Spartans started the season ranked 15th and ended unranked and 5-7. They didn’t even make a bowl game. Mel Tucker is a good coach and I believe he can turn this around, but it will take a lot of work before we see the same Michigan State team we did in 2021.

4. Miami (5-7)
The Hurricanes get preseason hype every year for some reason. I won’t believe it until I see it on the field. They are and have been recruiting very well, but it hasn’t translated to good play yet. Miami has ranked again this preseason at 16th and ended up going 5-7. They lost to a poor Texas A&M squad and also had losses to Middle Tennessee State and Duke. Those are not games that the U should be losing. It’s starting to feel like Miami won’t ever get things right.

5. Baylor (6-7)
Baylor was supposed to contend for the Big 12 again and even have a chance to make the CFP. Dave Aranda was getting praised as one of the smartest coaches in college football. They ended with a losing record. This season was very disappointing for the Bears, especially with how wide open the Big 12 was this year. Baylor’s season was supposed to be like TCU’s. Aranda is still a great coach and can definitely get them back on track in 2023. The question is, will he?

Oklahoma State (7-6)

Kentucky (7-6)
