LSU is 60 minutes away from a national championship, but in order to win the 2019-20 title, coach Ed Orgeron’s team has to go through the defending champs and a loaded Clemson squad. LSU claimed the No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff after a 13-0 regular season, which included wins over Texas, Florida, Auburn, Alabama, Texas A&M, and Georgia. The Bayou Bengals won 10 of their 13 games by double digits and dominated Oklahoma (63-28) in the Peach Bowl to clinch a spot in the national title game. A high-powered offense led by quarterback Joe Burrow helped LSU unseat Alabama atop the SEC West, while the defense has played better over the final month of the season.
