Stetson Bennett and the Georgia Bulldogs put together the most dominant national title game performance in the College Football Playoff era, totaling 589 yards of offense en route to a 65-7 win over TCU in the College Football Playoff National Championship.

Here are the numbers to know following Monday's national title game.

Georgia

1: Georgia became the first team in the CFP era to win back-to-back national championships.

3: Georgia became just the third FBS team in the modern era to cap a perfect 15-0 season with a national title, joining Clemson (2018) and LSU (2019).

6: Quarterback Stetson Bennett was responsible for six touchdowns in the Bulldogs' win over TCU, which tied then-LSU QB Joe Burrow for the most TDs in a CFP title game.

15: The 2022 season marks the first time Georgia finished a season 15-0. The Bulldogs broke the school record for wins in a season with 15 after Kirby Smart’s squad went 14-1 last season and won its first national championship in 41 years.

17: Georgia has won 17 straight games going back to last season’s CFP semifinal win over Michigan in the Orange Bowl. That ties a school record for wins in a row, which was set from 1945-47.

38: Georgia's 38 first-half points marked the most ever in the first half of a CFP title game, breaking the record of 35 by Alabama vs. Ohio State in the 2021 title game.

44: Georgia broke a school record with 44 rushing touchdowns this season, including five in Monday's CFP National Championship Game win over TCU. The previous record was 42, which was set in 2017.

58-1: Georgia is now 58-1 under Kirby Smart when scoring 30-plus points.

65: Georgia scored 65 points in Monday's CFP title win over TCU, which marked the highest point total scored in a championship game in the BCS/CFP era.

29-3: Bennett is 29-3 as a starter and has completed 65.1% of his passes (601-for-923) for 8,428 yards, 66 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in his college career.

5-1: The Bulldogs' record in the CFP in Smart’s seventh season at the helm.

TCU

1: TCU is the first Big 12 team to win a College Football Playoff game.

3: TCU was just the third team since 1998 to play in a national title game after being unranked in the preseason AP poll. TCU is the first school from the state of Texas to make the CFP and just the second team (Michigan, 2021) to be in the CFP after starting the season unranked.

582: TCU’s 582 points this season rank second in program history (604 points in 2014).

17: Max Duggan’s 17 touchdown passes of at least 20 yards ranked second among Power 5 quarterbacks. Duggan accounted for three or more touchdowns in nine games this season.

6: TCU’s six wins over ranked opponents this season tied Tennessee for the national lead

21: TCU led all FBS teams with 21 plays of 50-plus yards, 14 offensive touchdowns of at least 50 yards and 10 scoring plays of at least 60 yards. The Horned Frogs are also first in the FBS with 17 total touchdowns of 50-plus yards as well as 12 overall scores of at least 60 yards.

12-0: TCU was the first Big 12 team to get off to a 12-0 start since Texas in 2009.

8: TCU had eight more wins than it had all of last season. Only Tulane (+10) had a bigger improvement this season.
