Georgia avenged its loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship game by rolling the Crimson Tide 33-18 in last night’s college football championship game. It’s the first national title for the Bulldogs since 1980.

Prior to the game, the College Football Playoff management committee met, but could not come to an agreement on expanding the current four-team playoff format.

Payton did not give a recovery timetable but expects he’ll be ready for the start of the 2022 season. Hill is under contract for next season.
