TONIGHT, THE TIGERS WILL BE CROWNED COLLEGE FOOTBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONS. Number one Louisiana State faces #2 Clemson in a clash of unbeatens, and one Panthera tigris program will claim their spot as kings of the college football jungle. There’s just one problem. North Dakota State University is already college football’s finest modern-day program, no matter which team wins tonight.

An LSU win would cap a remarkable championship season for Ed Orgeron and Heisman-winning quarterback Joe Burrow, while a Clemson win would mean back-to-back national championships for Dabo Swinney and still undefeated quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Both Burrow and Lawrence are expected to be #1 NFL Draft picks, Burrow this year and Lawrence next. Both teams are spectacular. LSU has the opportunity to win their third title this century, while Clemson can win their third in the past four years.

Yawn.

Three championships is great and all, but how about eight titles in the last nine years alone?
