ATHENS - Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs raised another banner Saturday - the program’s second in a row. 

The banner was hoisted to the top of Sanford Stadium after a day of celebration for the program. It is the first time in the history of the College Football Playoff to win championships in back-to-back seasons. 

The Bulldogs finished the 2022 season undefeated for the first time since 1980. Georgia’s 65-7 win over TCU in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game was the program’s second in as many seasons. 

No program has gone back-to-back as national champions since Alabama reached that accomplishment with Kirby serving as Nick Saban’s defensive coordinator in 2011-12. Georgia’s Stetson Bennett completed his long journey in college football as one of the few signal callers to win the national title as a starter in two seasons. 

Bennett’s improbable march to the mountaintop doesn’t match the rest of the Dawgs’ powerful program, which is loaded with five- and high-star recruits who were coveted by nearly every program in the nation.
