FEI Final Ratings

LSU capped off a perfect season on Monday night in a 42-25 victory over Clemson in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. The Tigers were once again led to victory by their Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Joe Burrow, who took everything Clemson's defense could throw at him. Burrow and the LSU offense powered through a slow start but accelerated to three second-quarter touchdowns to take control of the game. Even though in retrospect (and on the stat sheet) the game remained competitive deep into the fourth quarter, LSU felt like a team that had too many weapons and too much confidence to be beaten.
