As the 2022 begins, weekly polls will be released throughout the season. Points were assigned for each vote, with a first-place vote being worth ten points and a 10th place vote being worth one point. Points were tabulated to compile the top 10. Bowie State will begin its 2022 slate on Sept. 3 versus New Haven in Bowie, Md. at Bulldog Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. For the most up-to-date information on Bowie State University Athletics and its 13 varsity sports teams, please visit www.bsubulldogs.com SOURCE Bowie State University If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
