We’re down to one game left in this college football season, that of course being Monday’s national championship. But before we say goodbye to bowl season, it’s time to look back on some of our favorite moments. In games known for their odd sponsorships, amusing mascots and unpredictable on-field play—the 2022–23 slate didn’t disappoint (a shout-out to Twitter accounts Sickos Committee and no context college football, which have done a great job documenting the absurdity of the past two and a half weeks).
Best upset: TCU over Michigan
A 7.5-point spread might not be the most unlikely upset out there, but there’s no doubting the Horned Frogs were underdogs against Michigan. Many even assumed a Wolverines blowout was more likely than a TCU victory. All season long, the Frogs have been defying expectations, but their Fiesta Bowl win was their biggest yet, with reverberations across college football as one of its biggest brands fell to a more outsider program. TCU will have to pull an even larger upset if it wants to win the national championship—SI Sportsbook has it as a 13.5-point underdog to Georgia.
