Peach Bowl
 < 2021 (Dec.) 2023 > 
1 vs. 4 Seed CFP Semifinal Game
 < 2021 Cotton 2024 Rose > 

The 2022 Peach Bowl (officially known as the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl for sponsorship reasons) was a college football bowl game played on December 31, 2022, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The game was the 55th annual playing of the Peach Bowl, one of the two semifinals of the 2022–23 College Football Playoff (CFP), and was one of the bowl games concluding the 2022 FBS football season. The game began at approximately 8:00 p.m. EST and aired on ESPN. It featured two of the four teams chosen by the selection committee to participate in the playoff: the Georgia Bulldogs from the Southeastern Conference and the Ohio State Buckeyes from the Big Ten Conference. The winner qualified for the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship against the winner of the other semifinal, hosted at the Fiesta Bowl.

Background

[edit]

The Peach Bowl was founded as a fundraiser by the Atlanta chapter of the Lions Club in 1968 and played its first game that same year.[1][2] The game was originally hosted by Georgia Tech at Grant Field before moving to Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium. The Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce began organization of the game in 1986 and the location was once again moved to the Georgia Dome beginning in 1992. From 2006 to 2013 the game was known as the "Chick-fil-A Bowl" but resumed its present name in 2014. The game has been played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta since January 2018.[3] Upon the implementation of the College Football Playoff (CFP) for the 2014 season,[4] the Peach Bowl hosted playoff semifinal games in 2016 and 2019.[5][6]

Teams

[edit]

The game featured Georgia, undefeated champion of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), and Ohio State, a one-loss team from the Big Ten Conference selected at-large by the College Football Playoff (CFP) committee. The only prior meeting between the two programs came in the 1993 Florida Citrus Bowl, a 21–14 Georgia victory.[9]

Georgia was undefeated in their 12-game regular season, facing and defeating two ranked FBS teams, Oregon and Tennessee. Their closest victory was by four points, over Missouri; all of their other wins were by at least 10 points. Georgia qualified for the SEC Championship Game, where they defeated LSU, 50–30. Georgia entered the Peach Bowl with an overall 13–0 record.

Ohio State

[edit]

Ohio State won the first 11 games of their regular-season schedule, including victories over two ranked FBS teams, Notre Dame and Penn State. They lost to Michigan in their final regular-season contest, 45–23. Ohio State entered the Peach Bowl with an overall 11–1 record. They were selected largely in part due to USC losing to Utah in the Pac-12 Championship. Had USC beaten Utah, they would have gone to the Peach Bowl as they were #4 before the Pac-12 Championship.
