Skalksi, Clemson not worried about LSU-leaning crowd

Clemson fans travel in droves no matter where their Tigers play. But many national analysts believe the Superdome will be an overwhelmingly LSU-leaning crowd for Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship Game.

Third-ranked Clemson enters the game after knocking off No. 2 Ohio State 29-23 in a thriller in front of a roughly 80-percent Buckeye crowd in the Fiesta Bowl. Now they travel to New Orleans to challenge No. 1 LSU in its home state of Louisiana.

Vivid Seats, a website that projects fan distribution for major sporting events, currently projects a 62- to 38-percent LSU lean in the seats.
