Campbell came in at 25, but like his comment about KF.
25. Matt Campbell, Iowa State (2022: No. 16): Iowa State has fallen in the wrong direction the past two seasons, bottoming out at 4-8 last season. But Campbell is not far removed from posting the first top-10 season in school history in 2020 and still holds the highest winning percentage (.523) of any ISU coach since Earl Bruce in 1973-78.
Just missed: Washington’s Kalen DeBoer, Liberty’s Jamey Chadwell, Florida State’s Mike Norvell, BYU’s Kalani Sitake, Tulane’s Willie Fritz, UTSA’s Jeff Traylor, Air Force’s Troy Calhoun and South Carolina’s Shane Beamer.
A note about Kirk Ferentz: I did not consider the Iowa coach this year because I consider his continued loyalty to son Brian as OC to be an act of negligence.
