2020 College Football Playoff National Championship
The 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship was a college football bowl game played on January 13, 2020 (which was the latest calendar date for the game until 2025), at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The sixth College Football Playoff National Championship, the game determined a national champion in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision for the 2019 season. The game began at 8:00 p.m. EST (7:00 p.m. local CST) and was televised by ESPN. It was the final game of the 2019–20 College Football Playoff and, aside from the all-star games that followed, was the culminating game of the 2019–20 bowl season. Sponsored by telecommunications company AT&T, the game was officially known as the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship presented by AT&T.
The championship featured the winner of the Peach Bowl, the top-seeded LSU Tigers from the Southeastern Conference defeating the winner of the Fiesta Bowl, the third seed and defending national champion Clemson Tigers from the Atlantic Coast Conference by a score of 42–25 to win their first national championship since 2007. The win for LSU snapped Clemson's 29 game-winning streak and gave them their fourth national championship, their first in the College Football Playoff era, and becoming just the 2nd team to complete a perfect 15–0 season after Clemson doing the feat the season earlier. The next two teams that would accomplish this feat were Georgia in 2022, and Michigan in 2023. Clemson appeared in their fourth overall CFP National Championship game, tying them with Alabama for the most appearances by any team. LSU became the first team to win the national championship in their home state since the 2008 Florida Gators.
Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans was announced as the host site for the sixth College Football Playoff National Championship on November 4, 2015. Playoff seedings and New Year's Six bowl matchups were announced on December 8, 2019. This was the first of four consecutive College Football Playoff National Championship games matching the No. 3 seed and the No. 1 seed.
The game matched the LSU Tigers of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and the Clemson Tigers of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). With both teams entering the game with 14–0 records, the winning team's 15–0 record would equal that of the 2018 Clemson Tigers, becoming only the second team to finish 15–0 in a single season since the 1897 Penn Quakers.
LSU defeated Georgia in the SEC Championship Game on December 7, and received a bid to the Peach Bowl with the release of final CFP rankings on December 8. The Tigers defeated Oklahoma, 63–28, in the CFP semifinal Peach Bowl on December 28, which was LSU's first CFP semifinal appearance. The Tigers entered the championship game with a 14–0 record (8–0 in conference). LSU's most recent loss was to Texas A&M on November 24, 2018; a seven overtime contest. This was LSU's first appearance in a CFP National Championship game; their most recent national championship game appearance had been a loss to Alabama in the 2012 BCS National Championship Game.
Clemson defeated Virginia in the ACC Championship Game on December 7, and received a bid to the Fiesta Bowl with the release of final CFP rankings on December 8. On December 28, the Tigers defeated Ohio State in the CFP semifinal Fiesta Bowl, 29–23. Clemson also entered the championship game with a 14–0 record (8–0 in conference). The Tigers' most recent loss had been to Alabama in the CFP semifinal Sugar Bowl on January 1, 2018; their 29 consecutive victories following that loss constituted one of the longest NCAA Division I football winning streaks of all time. Including national championship contests, this was Clemson's ninth overall CFP game, and they had a 6–2 record in prior CFP games. The Tigers were the defending champions, having defeated Alabama in the 2019 CFP National Championship.
Both teams played a single set back offense as their primary offensive set. On defense, Clemson played out of the 4–3 defense, while LSU played a 3–4 defense.
