Who carried it

Season leaders, 2022.

Defining Moments
The Continuity

No losses. SEC Championship over LSU 50-30. The 2022 team was the deepest Georgia roster of the era — Stetson Bennett back for a sixth year, the defense reloaded without Davis and Dean, and a schedule that surrendered exactly zero losses.

The Semifinal

Peach Bowl, December 31. Georgia 42, Ohio State 41. The only close game of the playoff run — Ohio State missed a 50-yard field goal in the final seconds; Georgia's defense held on the previous drive. The closest the 2022 team came to a loss.

The Crown

National Championship, January 9, 2023. Georgia 65, TCU 7. The largest margin of victory in a CFP title game; the largest scoring output in any major-college championship. A coronation, not a contest.

"We are not finished."

What It Meant

2022 is the chapter where the hunt became a dynasty. Back-to-back national titles had not been done since Alabama in 2011-2012; Georgia's 2021-2022 double was the first back-to-back by a non-Alabama program in the CFP era. The 65-7 title game is the data point the program will cite for decades — a championship that was not contested, in a format that usually does. The chapter's legacy inside the program is the second title's confirmation that 2021 was not the closing sentence. The chapter's legacy outside: Georgia is the SEC's structural contender now, without a footnote.
