Rankings from AP poll

In September 2021, Cincinnati and fellow conference members Houston and UCF accepted invitations to join the Big 12 Conference. The schools had been contractually required to remain with The American through 2024, but all reached a separation agreement that will allow them to join the Big 12 in 2023. Accordingly, the 2022–23 season was the program's last season as a member of The American.
