Clemson is back in a familiar spot -- underdogs to an SEC foe in the College Football Playoff championship game.
Caesars Sportsbook installed LSU as a 3-point favorite over Clemson late Saturday night, but the line grew quickly and eventually settled at LSU -5 at most sportsbooks.
It will be the fourth championship game appearance in the past five seasons for Clemson. Coach Dabo Swinney's Tigers were underdogs each time but managed to upset favored Alabama twice, including last season.
Clemson has won 29 games in a row and five straight against SEC opponents.
