A new college football champion is about to be crowned today as TCU and Georgia battle it out in the season’s final game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

Georgia — who entered the College Football Playoff as the favorite — barely hung on to their undefeated season record after making it to the championship game with a 42-41 comeback win against Ohio State in the semifinal.

Despite their clear advantage, an upset win from TCU is still very much possible. If we’ve learned anything bout the Horned Frogs over the last several games, it’s that they can — and do — overcome odds. They were given 200-1 playoff odds in the preseason, and their most recent game against Michigan made TCU the first Big 12 team to win a playoff game. Should they prevail today, it’ll be the Horned Frogs’ first championship since 1938.

College Football Playoff Expansion

This year’s CFP comes amidst big news for the tournament. It was announced in December that, starting in the 2024 season, the CFP will be expanding from four to 12 teams. This is great news for playoff fans, as we’ll not only get more games but more opportunities for underdog schools to take home the CFP Championship trophy. We still have two more four-team College Football Playoff tournaments (including this year’s), but the coming change is worth looking forward to.
