Georgia Wins Championship with 65-7 Romp over TCU

The outcome was never in doubt. Georgia was hitting on all cylinders offensively and defensively. I'm not sure the Kansas City Chiefs could have beaten the Bulldogs last night. The win secured a second championship in a row for Georgia, a rarity in college football, and landed the Bulldogs as #4 on Billingsley's list of All-Time National Champions behind #1 LSU 2019, #2 Alabama 2020 and #3 Clemson 2018. Stay tuned. Billingsley's Historical Data will be updated over the course of the next few weeks and months. 

It's Dawgs and Frogs!

Both Georgia and TCU won their CFP semi-final games, and in thrilling fashion, capping one of the most exciting Bowl Seasons in college football history. The Bulldogs escaped a furious upset bid at the hands of Ohio State who missed a last second field goal, falling just short of Georgia 42-41. The Horned Frogs upset Michigan 51-45. In the Cotton Bowl Tulane pulled off a shocking 46-45 win over USC 46-45. Penn State finished off the 2022 Bowl Season with a solid 35-21 win over Utah in the Rose Bowl. The CFP Championship Game is set for Monday, January 9, 2023 in Inglewood, California.

Kansas State Spoils TCU's Dream Season....Well, Maybe Not.

TCU's dramatic comeback fell 6 inches short in Arlington Saturday afternoon as the Wildcat defense held the Horned Frogs inside the one yard line not once, but twice after two questionable play calls. Kansas State promptly kicked a field goal and won the Big 12 Championship 31-28. The CFP Committee is meeting as I write and my suspicion is TCU will remain in the Top 4, behind Georgia and Michigan, but ahead of Ohio State. That is the exact order they fall in this weeks Billingsley Report.  Clemson ran over North Carolina 39-10 to win the ACC, Tulane rolled over Central Florida 45-28 to win the AAC, Michigan pulled away from a stubborn Purdue team 43-22 to win the Big 10. UTSA won their second C-USA Crown in a row with a 48-27 thrashing of North Texas. Toledo surprised Ohio 17-7 to take the MAC Crown. Fresno State traveled to Boise and took the MWC Crown on the Broncos home field. The Bulldogs prevailed 28-16. Utah totally dominated the second half and crushed USC 47-24 to take their second straight PAC 12 title. Defending National Champion Georgia dominated LSU 50-30 to win the SEC, and Troy beat Coastal Carolina 45-26 to win the Sun Belt. A projection for the Army/Navy game will post soon.
