National Championship Game Picks: LSU vs. Clemson Predictions From SI Experts

For only the second time since 2015, the college football national championship game is not Alabama vs. Clemson. Dabo Swinney's Tigers, however, are still here, hunting for a second straight title and third in the last four years. Instead of facing the Tide this time, though, they'll get an LSU team looking for its first title since 2007.

Ed Orgeron's Tigers are 14–0 this year, and—just like Clemson—are looking to finish off an undefeated season. Quarterback Joe Burrow is aiming to join the short list of Heisman winners that won the national championship in the same season, and his improbable year could have a fairytale ending.
