“I grew up in a small country town in Australia, about two hours east of Melbourne, and I wasn’t really sure what to expect,” Sandy said. “It’s really cool to be able to have some Australian guys to play against or to follow here in the States. “It was a big adjustment, and I wasn’t necessarily homesick,” Korsak said. “It’s an instinct, a skill that we learn, and it’s very transferable to punting in American football.” “It’s a pretty big employer in my hometown,” he said. For every punt he places inside an opponent’s 20-yard line, Sandy donates $20 to the Hope Center for Autism in Fort Worth, Texas. We actually get them recruited 95% of the time by being able to spiral and do the Aussie kicks.” “Kicking was something I’ve done since I was four years old in Australia. The dream of playing American football can ignite with a serendipitous spark. After sharing second place in attempts (75) and finishing fourth in yardage (3,207), Korsak received the Ray Guy Award. Fletcher, whose father played Australian rules football in the Australian Football League for 23 seasons, also was the American Athletic Conference’s special teams player of the year. Taylor – who ranked second in yardage (3,339) and fourth in punts (74) – made the Associated Press’ All-America second team.

Georgia, ranked number 1, stopped Texas Christian's vaunted offense and ended their improbable season. The Bulldogs are the first team to repeat as champion ...

Before the season began, TCU was picked to finish 7th in the conference and was a 200-to-1 longshot to win the national championship. The bulldog is a common fixture at Georgia games wearing a UGA uniform and hanging out in an air-conditioned doghouse on the sidelines. Led by Bennett (a former walk-on QB), Georgia overwhelmed the Southeastern Conference - the best conference in college football. It came in to the title game with a 13-1 record and the Big 12 Conference champions. Georgia simply dominated to lead 38-7 at the break, scoring on all six of its possessions (the first team to do that in the playoffs). TCU started the second half on a positive note - forcing a Georgia punt. Georgia responded right away - with a 37-yard Bennett touchdown pass to extend the lead to 17-7. Before Georgia, no team had repeated as national champion in the CFP era. Like the Georgia QB, Duggan, the With an unrelenting and dominant performance in the national championship game, Georgia swamped Texas Christian University 65-7 to finish undefeated and repeat as national champions. It would be TCU's only points of the game. The Bulldogs marched down the field in less than three minutes slicing through TCU's defense.

'Georgia chose violence': Fairytale crushed as college football title game the biggest blowout EVER.

And with Texas and Oklahoma soon leaving - to join the Bulldogs in the SEC - they can aspire to be a yearly fixture in the soon-to-be 12-team playoff. But they were no match for the Bulldogs, the cream of the crop in the Southeastern Conference and a team loaded with five-star recruits almost everywhere. It was the biggest blowout of a team ranked in the top three of the Associated Press poll in college football history, and the largest margin of victory in any bowl game ever.

The Bulldogs are followed by Ohio State, Michigan, Florida State and Alabama. Last season, future CFP participants Ohio State, Georgia and Michigan were ranked ...

Georgia looks to remain college football's team to beat in 2023, but other schools, including Michigan and Alabama, will challenge the Bulldogs.

The Sooners had a rough go of it without Riley and Williams in 2022, but next season should go better for coach Brent Venables, who has added a couple of intriguing transfers for his defense. The transition to a pass-happy offense under new coordinator Phil Longo should be eased by the addition of Southern Methodist quarterback Tanner Mordecai in the portal.

This ranking is a statement of faith in new coach Luke Fickell, who got Cincinnati to the playoff in 2021 and should maintain Wisconsin’s defensive chops going forward. Iowa was second in total defense in 2022, and the offense should be able to move the ball much more efficiently with Michigan transfer Cade McNamara running the huddle. One one hand, we want to honor what the Horned Frogs accomplished this season, and there’s no doubt coach Sonny Dykes is going to build a lot of momentum going forward. If LSU can avenge its loss to Florida State in the season opener in Orlando — certainly a big if — the Tigers will remain a playoff contender the rest of the way. The Ducks were dancing with the potential of a Pac-12 Conference championship in Dan Lanning’s first season as coach before being upset by Washington and Oregon State down the stretch. It might not happen right away, but Allar should give the Nittany Lions a higher ceiling and a better chance to advance to the program’s first CFP in the coming years.

This year the Bulldogs never had to worry about Alabama. Bennett’s 22-yard score to Adonai Mitchell was a higher degree of difficulty, dropped in over a defender who had tight coverage. TCU (13-2), the first Cinderella team of the playoff era, never had a chance against the Georgia juggernaut. Twice Bennett ran it in himself; the former walk-on turned two-time national champion was barely touched on the two quarterback keepers.

And as recruits flock to the Bulldogs, they can thank quarterback Stetson Bennett IV, whose first stint with the team came as a walk-on.

Bullard, a sophomore, had two interceptions and a fumble recovery and the Bulldogs held the star receiver Quentin Johnston to a single catch for 3 yards. And yet they were tested only twice: rallying from 10 points down in the fourth quarter to win at Missouri and coming back from a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit in the semifinal victory against Ohio State, which they survived on the missed field goal. Georgia held the Horned Frogs, who entered averaging 474.1 yards per game, to a season-low 188. A year later, Justin Fields, the top quarterback prospect in the country, showed up and those fealties to the school he grew up rooting for didn’t mean much. And each spring, many of those former prospects — after years spent in a football finishing school — trickle out to the N.F.L. Bennett was also dangerous running the ball. The offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who arrived just as the coronavirus pandemic hit, was trying to parse through a crowded quarterbacks room, attempting to find reps for Jamie Newman, a transfer from Wake Forest, J.T. Daniels won the job in 2020 and got hurt in last year’s season opener against Clemson. Each recruiting cycle, the top high school football prospects in the country, from California to Pennsylvania and all across the south, funnel into Athens, Ga. And with the way the Bulldogs continued to parade into the end zone and tee off on Max Duggan, the T.C.U. Their back-to-back titles are the first since Alabama a decade ago. The coin flip?

In a sport that has become more elitist with each passing conference realignment, an expanded playoff will makes for some welcome democratization.

Shaquille O’Neal, who has Texas roots and bought a house in the Dallas suburb of Carrollton last year, vowed to eat a horned frog if Georgia beat TCU. Maybe Michigan would have been more competitive in a rematch, but even if it had produced a closer outcome, the style of that game was likely to be familiar. The novelty of TCU made you think about Georgia in a different light, too. Georgia’s 42-41 semifinal victory over Ohio State was as riveting as it gets, and maybe if TCU hadn’t outlasted Michigan, 51-45, in the other thriller, a Bulldogs-Wolverines finale would have seemed tougher to predict. And I think this will give a lot of schools like TCU an opportunity to get in the mix and show what they’re capable of.” And I’ve always believed that the cream rises, and the more opportunities that schools outside of the traditional brands get, the more those schools can become traditional brands. There must be long shots to disrupt monotony and activate the imagination. This game arrived just in time, with the SEC and Big Ten poised to swell into invulnerability and the College Football Playoff set to grow from four to 12 teams during the 2024 season. Even as college football is set to become snobbier and create a higher society with super conferences, this outcome is a reminder that national championships are far more endearing when it feels like the nation actually competed for the crown. “There’s a lot of good football teams that deserve to be in the playoff. If it takes leviathans — and neighboring programs that can act like they belong — to compete, the concept of the little guy gets skewed. The loosest interpretation of the so-called haves and have nots is a virtual 50/50 split, but in practice, the highest level is even more sequestered.

Unofficial hype videos give us a view into the culture that we can’t see on TV. The hype-video auteur’s vision of college football is probably much closer to the players’ vision than the N.C.A.A.’s. This version of the sport is a lucrative business scheme hiding behind a facade of dignified amateurism that no longer exists. These songs accompany shots of players piercing offensive lines to make vicious sacks, grown men hurling other grown men onto the turf and sublime 60-yard touchdown passes. I went to college at the University of Texas at Austin, a place where football reigns supreme. More than anything, these videos are propaganda controlled by administrators and communication strategists, meant to burnish teams’ brands of administrators and communication strategists. Almost half of Division I college-football players are Black; the sport is normally a Black experience refracted through mostly white commentators, fans, boosters, coaches and TV executives. Rather than the staid orchestral scores or generic hip-hop beats that sound as if they were made by an A.I., these clips are set to trap music, a raw hip-hop subgenre from the South named for the drug-dealing milieus it originated in. All the while, the university sold the games as part of a storied tradition but ignored shameful details, like the fact that Texas had one of the last major college-football programs to integrate, or that its most celebrated coach, Darrell K. Enter hype videos: do-it-yourself compilations of divinely timed stiff arms, the most beautiful jukes you’ve ever seen, otherworldly one-handed backward-diving catches and other athletic feats.

Now that the 2022 college football season is over, it's already time to start looking ahead to 2023.

All the strengths that helped carry TCU to the national championship game were quickly taken away by Georgia in a 65-7 loss at SoFi Stadium.

Stetson Bennett, receiver Ladd McConkey and tight end Brock Bowers found openings in the secondary and often had at least 3 yards of separation on receptions. Duggan, a Heisman Trophy finalist, completed 14 of 22 passes for 152 yards and two interceptions. “We had things go about as bad as they could go in the first half.

Certainly the Bulldogs are at the top of the list. We got a sneak peek at the talent on their roster for the 2023 campaign in the second half against TCU, and ...

The Pac-12 is going to be fascinating to watch next season, with the quarterbacks that are going to be under center in the conference. That success put Nix in the Heisman conversation for a while, until the Ducks lost to the Huskies in a thrilling game late in the season. Nix will get another receiver to throw to via the transfer portal, and a familiar one at that. He hit on 20 of 24 passes for 279 yards and a touchdown in Clemson’s win over North Carolina in the ACC Championship Game, and will have some talent around him next year. On the defensive side of the football, the Huskies look stout up front, with Bralen Trice and Zion Tupuola-Fetui back in the fold. That unit will have to step up, or Riley will have to make some coaching changes for USC to truly get to the playoff and win a title. The reason Tennessee is on here is because of the QB. Getting the defense ironed out is a big question, but when you have offense, you can do anything in college football. With Lincoln Riley pulling the strings on the offense as well as an incoming flux of transfers and the 15th ranked recruiting class (and a top 5 transfer class), the USC offense should be once again, very good. For the second-straight season, the Wolverines fell short in the College Football Playoff, but Michigan is primed to make another deep run next season. The Bulldogs are riding high after a 65-7 romp over TCU, but the scariest part of the team that hung 65 in the national title game is that they were relatively young this year. Certainly the Bulldogs are at the top of the list.

Assuming Jim Harbaugh hangs around, the Wolverines will likely be favored to win the Big Ten. Ohio State won't slip much, if at all, with a new quarterback.

The Beavers will be one of the most interesting teams to watch in 2023. The offensive pieces are in place for nine wins, but the defense has to get better. Bijan Robinson will be hard to replace in the backfield. The dude can play and make the difference in a Pac-12 title. Mason Taylor might be the best tight end in the country. Coach Kalen DeBoer is a turnaround artist who has the Huskies back in the national conversation. have the roster to win it all in 2023. Stroud to the NFL, the QB room is stocked and may get stronger whether Ryan Day is successful in the transfer portal or not. There is no Oregon on the schedule in the nonconference slate. That's a great place to start both in the SEC and with UGA's goal of dominating the nation again. There should be no surprise the SEC has six teams in the top 25. Alabama has to be considered for the top four.

Georgia won its second straight title in decisive fashion. Where does the 65-7 win stand among past lopsided national championships?

Since debuting in 2014, six of the nine national championship games have included at least one side that eclipsed 40 points. Record hunting in college football is a messy business, chock full of disputed national championships and changing methodology, dating back more than a century.
