It turns out the real College Football Playoff national championship game may have been Georgia's 42-41 victory over Ohio State in the semifinals.
Monday's national title game appears to be nothing more than a formality for the Bulldogs after escaping that one, and they wasted no time letting the Big 12 runner-up TCU Horned Frogs know who would be lifting the trophy.
Stetson Bennett and the rest of Georgia's loaded roster steamrolled their way to a 38-7 halftime lead in a record-setting performance.
Chris Vannini of The Athletic noted the Bulldogs' 38 points set the all-time mark for first-half scoring in a CFP title game.
