Honest Opinions Around the SEC

I'm just genuinely curious what the rest of the SEC fan bases think the outcome of the CFP Championship will be. A lot of national pundits are picking Clemson because this fallacy of "Championship Experience".
Personally, I've tried to be objective in what I see and I just don't know how Clemson can stop the LSU offense for an entire 4 quarters. I get Venables is a genius, but they're weak in the front 4 and LSU has shown time and time again that you can't stop them without pressure from the front 4. Specifically from the interior. Auburn was the only team to slow LSU down and they did by pressuring up the middle in the red zone using 4 down lineman. I don't see Clemson being able to do that.
LSU 47-28

My sources say Burrow has contracted aids and won’t be 100%.

LSU wins because of the following reasons:
1. Clemson's 2019 DL is good, but nowhere near the 3 first round NFL picks good it was last year.
2. Clemson's offense has taken a step back from last year's production as well.
3. Clemson had to actually prep for their semifinal game.
4. Burrow is more experienced than Tua of last year. **IF** LSU does fall behind by a bit, Burrow isn't going to try and force things.
5. LSU managed to make it through the season RELATIVELY uninjured. Something Clemson isn't used to playing - a healthy, top tier SEC team.
6. LSU's defense is firing on all cylinders now. If this had been game 1 of the season, then MAYBE Clemson pulls the upset. Not now.

To me, on paper, LSU should beat that arse. Maybe not as bad as OU, but I'm thinking of 2-3tds. Clemson's defense is not what it was last year, and their offense is not on LSU's level.
We've all seen games turn out completely different than we thought it would, so I'm not 100% confident LSU walks away with it. However, Clemson will need all of the breaks for them to have a shot.

Clemson will be the most talented team LSU has faced all year. Their DBs are fast and tall. Most were 5* recruits. Anyone claiming this will be a blow out is not very rational.

I get your an AU fan so it's damn near sacreligious for you admit this, but Clemson is not anywhere near as talented as Bama in the secondary. Hell, they aren't even as talented as Florida IMHO.

What do you consider a blowout?

Beware of the team that no one thinks will win.

I could see some nervousness on LSU’s part as there’s no denying that CU has much more CFP experience. I still think LSU wins a fairly close game (by their standards) 38-29.

Can we just play the game already? Tired of talking about it. It is like a 2nd off season.

LSU by more than two touchdowns.

OU had no experience in winning, though.
