We have almost made it!

The long SEC football offseason is nearly over, and College GameDay, America’s premier pregame show, will be broadcast live from Lambeau Field for the LSU vs. Wisconsin opener.

So, Kirk Herbstreit and the College GameDay crew held their annual pregame show this past Saturday, and each of the analysts made their national championship predictions.

Kirk Herbstreit: Clemson over Alabama
David Pollack: Clemson over Florida State
Desmond Howard: Clemson over LSU
Lee Corso: LSU over Michigan

A nearly unanimous panel predicted Clemson to win the national championship behind QB Deshaun Watson. Lee Corso was the only panel member to pick a Big Ten program in the national championship game in Michigan.

Alabama and LSU each made an appearance in the predictions, as Herbstreit picked Alabama and Corso and Howard picked LSU to play in the championship game. Corso was the only analyst to pick an SEC champion.
