Has Georgia surpassed Alabama as the best program in college football?
Dan Wolken looks at if Georgia can now be considered the team to beat in college football.
USA TODAY
The 2022 college football season ended the same way that last season ended – with Georgia winning the College Football Playoff national championship game. And the Bulldogs were again the unanimous choice at the top of the USA TODAY Sports AFCA coaches poll.
The rest of the ballots in the final ranking weren’t as predictable. TCU reached the national title game and ultimately finished second in the final vote, but it wasn’t clear-cut after the Horned Frogs were dominated by Georgia in the national title game. The three other teams that completed the top five – MIchigan, Ohio State and Alabama – each received votes at No. 2 with the Buckeyes leading that group with nine selections.
Five coaches voted TCU outside the top four – Dana Dimel of Texas-El Paso, Marcus Freeman of Notre Dame, Jeff Hafley of Boston College, Will Hall of Southern Mississippi, Pat Narduzzi of Pittsburgh
