The Georgia Bulldogs have become the first team in the College Football Playoff era to win back-to-back College Football Playoff National Championships. The Bulldogs defeated the TCU Horned Frogs 65-7 in the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship presented by AT&T at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. 

Since 2014, there have now been nine Champions that have been crowned via the College Football Playoff National Championship. The Bulldogs also defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide last year at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
