My friend just ponied out that the College Football Playoff championship game is in New Orleans on Monday, January 13, 2020. Not to get ahead of ourselves, but if we were to face LSU there, that would be a big home field advantage them.. Of course, Buckeye Nation would show out and hopefully negate most of that. It does seem that every time that the championship game is in New Orleans, LSU makes it there: 2003, 2007, and 2011.
