The Honorable Joseph R. Biden

President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500-0005

Dear President Biden,

We write to request you host the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) College Football
Playoff National Champions, the University of Georgia Bulldogs, for a White House ceremony at your earliest
convenience.
The Georgia Bulldogs, led by Head Coach Kirby Smart, completed a historic season in which they
accomplished a 15-0 record and won their second National Championship in the same number of years. The
2022–2023 team allowed an average of 14.2 points per game, while scoring an incredible 41 points per game.
This marks the fourth College Football National Championship in school history and the 2022-2023 Bulldogs
become the first team in the College Football Playoff Era to win back-to-back National Championships.
For years, the college football national champion has had the high honor of being hosted, by the President, at
the White House. Due to COVID-19 constraints, the 2021-2022 University of Georgia National Championship
team was unable to come to D.C. It is our hope that this repeat championship team can join the many teams
prior that have been honored by the President.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We hope you will join us in recognizing the tremendous
achievements of all University of Georgia’s football players, coaches, and staff who contributed to this
championship season.
Sincerely,

Earl L. "Buddy" Carter
