Some surprises on the list, others less so. I've listed the current winning streak length and number of 2022 home games in parenthesis, with a breakdown of each home opponent by team. I'm not counting any neutral site games either.
1. Clemson (34/7) - Furman, Louisiana Tech, NC State, Syracuse, Louisville, The U, South Carolina. A few decent programs but no one that screams a huge threat, especially if the Tigers return to form.
2. Cincinnati (27/6) - Kennesaw State, Indiana, USF, Navy, ECU, Tulane. Their most difficult games are on the road, if they're anywhere near as good as last season they should manage everyone. If they host the AAC championship again they'll have another game to play.
3. Oregon (19/6) - Eastern Washington, BYU, Stanford, UCLA, Washington, Utah. Some good teams on that list, though it's tough for anyone to win at Autzen.
4. Miami OH (14/5) - Robert Morris, Kent State, Western Michigan, Ohio U, Ball State. Probably the easiest schedule of those listed here (playing Cincinnati at a neutral site), and only 5 home games to win instead of 6/7.
5. Alabama (13/7) - Utah State, UL-Monroe, Vandy, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, Austin Peay, Auburn. Pretty manageable for an elite team, A&M is likely their biggest threat.
6. Georgia (12/6) - Samford, Kent State, Auburn, Vandy, Tennessee, GT. Also should be relatively easy if they're a contender again (not counting Oregon in Atlanta/UF in Jacksonville).
7. NC State (10/7) - Charleston Southern, Texas Tech, UConn, FSU, VT, Wake Forest, BC. Wouldn't be too surprised if they fell to Wake.
7. UTSA (10/6) - Houston, Texas Southern, WKU, North Texas, Louisiana Tech, UTEP. Test against UH to start the season, but if they come out with a win they could keep it rolling through the fall.
