(Stats Perform) - There's a odd dynamic with the ASUN-WAC Challenge in the 2022 season, but there's still good FCS college football to go around.

While the two-conference partnership has been extended for a second season, its members represent five different conferences from last season and their schedules include just two games that pit teams crossing over conferences to play each other. Sam Houston, which won the 2020 national championship in a postseason played in spring 2021, and Jacksonville State aren't eligible for the ASUN-WAC's automatic playoff bid because they have moved over the FCS scholarship limit in heading toward the FBS and Conference USA next year.

Still, there are two preseason top-10 teams (Kennesaw State and Stephen F. Austin) and two more that were within the first 10 spots outside the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 (Eastern Kentucky and Central Arkansas).
