The dream season for LSU and quarterback Joe Burrow will end about 80 miles from campus in New Orleans, which will provide the ultimate home-field advantage. Clemson will try to spoil the party, win back-to-back national titles and further cement its claim as the nation's most dominant program.
After a longer-than-normal regular season and an earlier-than-normal set of semifinals, the national championship matchup is set: Tigahs vs. Tigers, Coach O vs. Dabo, Burrow vs. Trevor Lawrence, Death Valley vs. Death Valley. LSU aims for its first national title since the 2007 season, when it beat Ohio State in New Orleans.
