Worst Game: Georgia 26, Missouri 22
The 2021 Georgia national championship team was far better defensively, the offense did a little more, and … there was a loss.
The SEC Championship defeat to Alabama put the ’21 Dawgs down a few pegs, but the 2022 version came roaring back with an unbeaten season including the biggest blowout in the history of bowl games – at 65-7 win over TCU.
There was a little bit of drama in the late comeback to beat Missouri 26-22, but that was it until a jacked up Ohio State gave the Dawgs everything they could handle.
An epic late scoring drive led by QB Stetson Bennett – and saved by a missed last second kick from the Buckeyes – pulled the CFP Semifinal out of the fire, and then it became fun-time. Georgia roared with a win over a brutally overmatched TCU for a second straight national championship and the first unbeaten or untied one since 1980.
The only reason the 2022 team isn’t higher is the lack of Quality Wins – wins over teams that finished with a winning record. There were just two until November, and then it all kicked in with six in the final seven.
