Rankings from STATS Poll

The 2022 Dayton Flyers football team represented the University of Dayton as a member of the Pioneer Football League during the 2022 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Flyers were led by 14th-year head coach Rick Chamberlin and played their home games at Welcome Stadium. Despite the Flyers finishing in a second place tie in the conference with a 6-2 conference record, they still had a chance to claim the PFL’s automatic bid in the FCS Playoffs (due to St. Thomas (MN) being ineligible due to their 5-year transition from Division III to Division I) but failed to do so after a narrow 24-23 loss to Davidson in the final week of the regular season.
