The Georgia Bulldogs completed an unbelievable year of football by crushing TCU in the College Football Playoff national championship 65 to 7.

The Bulldogs, finishing 15 and 0, became the first repeat champs since Alabama went back-to-back a decade ago while scoring more points than any other team in a national championship game dating back to the beginning of the BCS in 1998.

Head Coach Kirby Smart is now 81-15 in his first seven seasons at Georgia with two national titles.

Georgia scored the most points in a national championship game dating back to the the beginning of the BCS in 1998. Georgia's 58-point blowout betters Nebraska’s win over Florida by 38 in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl and Alabama’s 28-point BCS championship blowout over Notre Dame in 2013.

Details are still being worked out for another celebration parade in Athens.
