The Georgia Bulldogs opened the season ranked No. 3 in the Associated Press preseason Top 25 poll. The defending national champions reclaimed the No. 1 spot after defeating then-No. 1 Tennessee, 27-13, in Week 10 of the regular season and have remained in the top spot ever since.
After Saturday’s come-from-behind, 42-41 win over No. 4 Ohio State in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl semifinal, the SEC-champion Bulldogs (14-0) will put their perfect season on the line against No. 3 TCU in the College Football Playoff Championship game Monday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California (7:30 p.m., ESPN).
The only loss for the Horned Frogs (13-1) this season came Dec. 3 against Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship game. TCU shot to a big lead, then held on late to knock off No. 2 Michigan, 51-45, in their Fiesta Bowl semifinal in Glendale, Arizona, on Saturday.
