2022 NCG · Georgia 65, TCU 7

Georgia 65, TCU 7. The largest national-title-game margin of victory in the AP-poll era and the closing argument for the back-to-back championship that Smart's program had been building since the 2017 title-game loss to Alabama. Bennett threw for 304 and ran for two; the defense gave up six points until garbage time. TCU's Cinderella run from unranked to title game ended in the first quarter. The image — Stetson Bennett accepting the trophy a second January in a row — anchored the era's most dominant program-stretch outside the 2017-2020 Alabama run.
