Seven college football programs failed at title three-peats. So good luck, Georgia.

Let's be very clear: Winning two national championships in a row borders on the impossible.

Only seven programs have been named back-to-back national champs by a major selector during college football's poll era, which began in 1936.

But winning three in a row? OK, that might actually be impossible – every single one of those seven programs has tried and failed to do so, with three programs failing on multiple occasions.

The next team to try its hand at history is 2023 Georgia. After winning the rematch against Alabama in 2021, last year's team stormed to a 15-0 mark capped by a destruction of TCU in the championship game.
