ESPN releases final 2022 college football power rankings
Sadly, the 2022 college football season came to a close last week, and we have to wait nearly nine months for the best sport to resume. However, we can look forward as much as we want, as well as look back.
Georgia took home the hardware in the national championship game on Monday, resoundingly defeating TCU. That gives us an obvious top dog, but what about the rest of the field?
ESPN put out its final power rankings of the 2022 season and there were a few surprises, including some teams who made late pushes in bowl season. Here is how the worldwide leader contextualizes the season that was.
