The conclusion of the college football season will be a legendary rematch between two of the top programs in the nation.
The 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship will not only be the second time Alabama and Georgia have met this season, but also four years and two days since the 2018 overtime thriller for the title.
Plenty of student-athletes became household names that evening before hitting the NFL, as a 51-yard Rodrigo Blankenship field goal was outdone by a Tua Tagovailoa torpedo to DeVonta Smith for a Crimson Tide victory.
This version of the national title will once again showcase more than a dozen names that will soon play at the professional level.
The perfect season from Georgia ended in a lackluster performance with a loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship. Head coach Kirby Smart professed how elite the quarterback and offensive line play was for the Crimson Tide.
Failing to execute kept Smart from beating his former boss for a fourth consecutive time since leaving his post as Alabama defensive coordinator and taking on the head-coaching job at Georgia.
The Bulldogs bounced back in the national semifinal by dominating Michigan. Georgia led, 27-3, by halftime, limiting the Wolverines offense to just one possession past the 40-yard line and neutralized Heisman Trophy runner-up Aidan Hutchinson by averaging 5.4 yards per carry.
The Bulldogs piled up seven tackles for loss and three turnovers, as the revelry of the Michigan victory brought back confidence and a trip to Indianapolis for revenge.
Continuing the streak of national semifinal blowouts, Alabama put up a covering victory in the Orange Bowl. Cincinnati was held without a touchdown and posted just two successful conversions in 15 attempts on third and fourth down.
The Crimson Tide played terrorizing defense with eight tackles for loss and six sacks.
The Bearcats represented the Group of Five’s first-ever appearance in the playoff but left without a whimper after five punts and just four drives that crossed the Alabama 40-yard line.
