It all comes down to this. The Clemson Tigers will take on the LSU Tigers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Monday evening in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
Clemson is seeking its 3rd national championship in 4 years and 2nd in a row, while LSU hopes to win its first since defeating Ohio State 38-21 in the BCS National Championship Game in New Orleans over 12 years ago.
ESPN’s College GameDay team was on hand in New Orleans ahead of kickoff, and as is tradition, they made their picks as to who would win between LSU and Clemson. Kirk Herbstreit did not register a pick as he is set to call the game with Chris Fowler, so Desmond Howard, David Pollack and Lee Corso unveiled who they thought would win.
You can see below what their selections were:
- Howard: LSU
- Pollack: LSU
- Corso: LSU
Are they right? Are they wrong? We will find out together as the game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. Eastern Time on ESPN.
