The 2022β23 College Football Playoff was a single-elimination bracket invitational tournament to determine the national champion of the 2022 college football season.
The playoff bracket's semifinal games were held at the Peach Bowl and Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Eve, part of the season's slate of bowl games. The winners, the TCU Horned Frogs and the Georgia Bulldogs faced off in the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship on January 9 in Inglewood, California. [1]
The 58-point victory for the Georgia Bulldogs was the most lopsided win in a College Football Playoff National Championship Game, the largest margin of victory in a title game, and at the time, was the largest margin of victory in any bowl game at the FBS level, until the Bulldogs surpassed that in the 2023 Orange Bowl. [2] Georgia became the first team since the 2012 Alabama Crimson Tide to repeat as national champions. They also became just the third college football team to complete a 15β0 season in the modern era after the 2018 Clemson Tigers and the 2019 LSU Tigers. They were subsequently joined by the 2023 Michigan Wolverines. This was the fourth consecutive national championship won by the SEC.
