Based on what I have seen in the Clemson-Ohio State game, coupled with
the National Championship being played in New Orleans, it certainly looks
like LSU is bringing home the title this year.

The only chance for the Clemson-OSU winner is that the game is in New Orleans.  They will have to hope that the LSU players get consumed by logistics for family, friends, neighbors, etc. 

The ticket allocations to each school are generous, so 25-30% of the crowd will be for the other school.   

The gap does play a role.   For the next several days the #2/#3 winner will work diligently to find LSU weaknesses.   LSU will probably just spend time finding hotels and tickets in New Orleans.
