Final AP Poll Released After Georgia's National Title Win Over Alabama

Georgia topped Alabama, 32–18, on Monday night in the national championship to claim the school's first national title since 1980.

Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett threw for 224 yards and two touchdowns in the victory, playing determined football in the game's key moments.

“I just hope they remember this feeling and understand they don't need to get spoiled, they need to stay hungry like these players,” coach Kirby Smart said postgame of his program's fans. “Just so proud of our players. Somebody told me you're not playing for the 41 years that we haven't won a national title, you're playing for the men in the room, and that really touched me, because that's what it was all about was those guys in the room.”
