A panel of 52 FWAA writers and College Football Hall of Famers vote in the poll. Voters were selected to create a balanced geographical perspective and include CollegeFootballPoll.com's Dave Congrove.
Congrove's ballot had Georgia occupying the top spot, followed by TCU, Ohio State and Michigan to round out his top four. He relegated Tennessee from 1st to 5th with the loss to the Bulldogs. Rounding out his top ten were Oregon at 6th, Alabama 7th, Clemson 8th, Ole Miss 9th, and UCLA 10th.
Congrove dropped Illinois (was 13), Kansas State (was 14) and Syracuse (was 16). LSU, Penn State and NCSU gained entry.

ABOUT THE FWAA-NFF SUPER 16 POLL: The FWAA-NFF Super 16 Poll was established at the conclusion of the 2013 season by long-time partners, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) and the National Football Foundation (NFF). Voters rank the top 16 teams in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, and the results will be released every Sunday of the 2022 season; the individual votes of all members will also be made public. The first regular season poll will be released on Tuesday, Sept. 6 (to account for Labor Day games), and the final poll will be released Sunday, Dec. 4. The pollsters consist of FWAA writers and College Football Hall of Famers who were selected to create a balanced-geographical perspective. The poll utilizes a computer program designed by Sports Systems, a TicketManager company, to compile the rankings.
