To say the SEC has dominated college football for the last 20 years would be an understatement. The SEC has claimed 14 of the last 20 national titles, six of nine in the College Football Playoff (CFP) era, and has never gone more than two consecutive years without claiming the sport’s top prize.
Georgia has solidified the conference’s positioning over the last two seasons by becoming the first back-to-back champion since the creation of the CFP. Michigan fans experienced this firsthand when the Wolverines ran into this buzzsaw in the national semifinal in 2021.
This loss left such an impact on the team that Michigan now has a “Beat Georgia” drill in practice to help keep the team’s eyes on the end-of-season prize.
