No. 1 Georgia could become the first school to repeat as major college football champions since Alabama a decade ago when it faces No. 3 TCU on Monday, Jan. 9 for the College Football Playoff national championship. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

The Bulldogs could also be the first to go back-to-back in the nine-year history of the four-team playoff.

With a blueprint similar to Nick Saban’s but modified to fit Georgia, Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart has built a program that appears capable of accomplishing the ultimate goal: sustained excellence.

Heisman Trophy finalist Stetson Bennett and the Bulldogs have been the No. 1 team in the country in 21 of the last 23 AP Top 25 college football polls, dating back to Oct. 10, 2021.

This season, Heisman runner-up and TCU quarterback Max Duggan and The Hypnotoads — a nickname borrowed from the animated TV show “Futurama” — have taken their fans on a heart-stopping ride that has included nine victories by 10 points or fewer.

The Frogs are the biggest underdogs in the history of the CFP title game, getting 12 1/2 points.

When is the CFP national title game?

The College Football Playoff national championship game between Georgia and TCU will start at 6:30 p.m. (7:30 p.m. ET) on Monday, Jan. 9.
