The experts aren’t giving TCU a chance, installing Georgia as a nearly two-touchdown favorite.
. The Bulldogs, who have now won 16 straight games and 30 of their last 31, should be the favorite and it would be a surprise for them not to become the first repeat champion since Alabama in 2011-12.
Yet, counting out TCU would be a mistake. The Horned Frogs outplayed a good Michigan team. They belong. They’ve proven it time and again this season. Before we fully move on to what should be a fascinating title game, I wanted to look back at what was by far the best day the College Football Playoff has had in its nine years.
There were two phenomenal semifinal games, both of them classics that weren’t decided until the final seconds. It was the first time that both semifinals were decided by a single score. One underdog pulled the upset and the other nearly did. The scoreboards were lit up like Christmas trees and the Peach Bowl was determined just as the year flipped from 2022 to 2023.Far too frequently over the past decade, the favorite has coasted. You can reasonably predict the teams that will reach the playoff.
Ohio State proved it belonged and Stroud showed he should be the first quarterback taken in the NFL draft. He absolutely torched Georgia’s defense, which features a number of future NFL players. He used his legs to extend plays and threw darts all evening from the pocket. It was impossible not to be blown away by what you saw from the junior signal-caller at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
