2025 National Championship Favorites By Conference
Past College Football Championship Winners (CFP Era)
Year | Champion | Runner-up | Final Score |
---|---|---|---|
2023-24 | Michigan | Washington | 34-13 |
2022-23 | Georgia | TCU | 65-7 |
2021-22 | Georgia | Alabama | 33-18 |

2015-16 | Alabama | Clemson | 45-40 |
2014-15 | Ohio State | Oregon | 42-20 |
With consecutive titles in 2021 and 2022, Georgia is the only repeat winner of the College Football Championship in the CFP era (2014-present). Alabama leads the way with three national championships since the College Football Playoff was implemented.
Although TCU didn’t win the National Championship, they are arguably the top underdog story of the CFP era thus far. Sonny Dykes’ team opened as a +20000 longshot (0.5% implied probability) to win the National Title in 2023 and came one victory away from doing the improbable.
