Here's everything you might want to know about the College Football Playoff National Championship game between LSU and Clemson.
The College Football Playoff National Championship is right around the corner, and the LSU Tigers and Clemson Tigers are set to do battle in this hugely anticipated game.
Both teams come into Monday's matchup undefeated, but the two squads took very different roads to end up in New Orleans. Clemson cruised through its regular season in the Atlantic Coast Conference before narrowly defeating an evenly matched Ohio State team in the semifinals.
On the other side of the ball, LSU had to beat five nationally ranked teams throughout the regular season, including a huge win over Alabama. The squad from Baton Rogue also demolished the Oklahoma Sooners by 35 points in their semifinal matchup.
