For the final time of the 2019-20 college football season, Lee Corso put on his headgear to predict the winner of a game. ESPN’s College GameDay crew was in New Orleans on Monday night for the College Football Playoff national championship game between No. 1 LSU and No. 3 Clemson, and Corso is going with the Tigers (obviously).
As Corso and the GameDay group noted, he previously put on LSU’s tiger headgear four times this season when the Tigers played Texas in September, Florida in October, Alabama in November and Georgia in the SEC championship game in December. And each time, Corso picked correctly as LSU enters the title game with a perfect 14-0 record — just like Clemson.
“I’ve put the tiger head [on] four times,” Corso said during ESPN’s pregame broadcast. “The Tigers have won four times. I see no reason to change. Give me that LSU Tiger!”
Corso is picking LSU over Clemson in the battle of the Tigers from Death Valley. LSU is a 4.5-point favorite.
Hilariously, he also made this pick while sitting next to Alabama coach Nick Saban, whose team did not make the playoff for the first time since the postseason format began in 2014.
