The Georgia Bulldogs are 13-0 after winning the 2022 SEC championship against the LSU Tigers. Let’s take a look back at Georgia’s top five plays from the 2022 college football season.
Jalen Carter’s sack against LSU, Stetson Bennett’s great escape and touchdown pass against Oregon, and Brock Bowers’ juke on his long touchdown reception against South Carolina were all great plays, but none of them made our top five.
Here’s how we rank Georgia’s five best plays of the season before the Bulldogs play in the College Football Playoff:

Smael Mondon's freak interception in the SEC championship
This play is not all luck. Safety Christopher Smith had a well-timed pass deflection against LSU. The ball bounced off the head of the LSU receiver and somehow ended up in the hands of Georgia linebacker Smael Mondon.
Can't make this one up.

Christopher Smith's blocked kick return for touchdown
Georgia’s Nazir Stackhouse blocked a LSU field goal in the SEC championship. Senior safety Christopher Smith saw one side of the field was wide-open, so he returned the blocked kick for a touchdown.
What a smart play by Christopher Smith.

Malaki Starks' touchdown-saving tackle against Missouri
Malaki Starks’ touchdown-saving tackle against Missouri should not be overlooked. Starks, who had an incredible interception against Oregon, hustled to tackle Missouri’s running back. Georgia held the Tigers to a field goal and completed a second half comeback on the road.
