​      I'm sitting here in my press box seat, in the empty, quiet Mercedes Benz Super Dome. It's now four and a half hours before kickoff, and being here in the quiet has me reminiscing about the incredible season we have just witnessed and what's at stake tonight. Our 14-0, #1 ranked LSU Fighting Tigers will take on the Clemson Tigers, 14-0, ranked #3 for the 2019 season National Championship.  Here are some facts related to the game.
1 - This is the fifth year of the CFP, and the #1 seed has yet to be crowned champion. 
2 - The lower seeded team in all five games has emerged with the trophy. 
3 - This is the fourth of the six games that will be played indoors.
4 - Tonight's winner will be just the second team to go 15-0 since Division I was split in 1978. Clemson did it last year. 
5 - This is just the fourth meeting between these two schools. LSU leads, 2-1
6 - If LSU scores 16 points, it would become the second team to score 700-plus points in a season. (Most: 723, Florida State in 2013.)
7 - LSU is 27-23-1 all-time in bowl/postseason games, while Clemson is 25-20.
8 - The SEC went 7-2 in bowl games this year, while ACC schools went 4-6. 
9 - LSU has won at least 10 games in six seasons this decade (and at least eight in all), and owns the nation's sixth best record at 102-28.
10 - President Donald Trump will attend his second CFP game. (He was in Atlants in 2018)
11 - LSU is first in the nation in scoring offense (48.9 points per game): Clemson is first in scoring defense (11.5 points per game).
