2019-2020 NCAA Football Champion LSU

LSU Caps Magical Season
The Louisiana State Tigers finished out one of the best seasons in recent memory, beating the Clemson Tigers 42-25 in the College Football Playoff National Championship. Heisman winner Joe Burrow passed for 463 yards and five touchdowns while rushing for one score without throwing an interception. The eye-popping stats came against the country's top-rated defense and helped Burrow set the single-season record for touchdown passes (60) and touchdowns accounted for (65). Burrow is also projected to be the first player taken in the NFL draft and appears headed to the Cincinnati Bengals. It was Clemson's first loss in 29 games, having won two of the past four national championships, and the first college loss for sophomore phenom quarterback Trevor Lawrence. With Lawrence returning, Vegas gives Clemson 2-1 odds to win next year's championship, followed by Alabama (4-1), LSU (9-2), and Ohio State (7-1).
