Lee Corso predicts Utah over Clemson in CFB playoff semi-final

---

College Football is back!

During Saturday morning's ESPN GameDay show in Orlando, college football analyst Lee Corso had a projection of No. 3 seed Utah in the National Championship game while taking out No. 2 seed Clemson in the semi-final matchup.

Not so fast my friend.

This is a classic troll move by Corso and I hope that he doesn't believe this pick. However, he probably does and this is your very early upset alert for the Tigers.

Utah is no slouch though as they are currently ranked No. 14 in the AP preseason poll.

Nobody else on the GameDay set even had Utah winning the Pac-12 conference (Washington, Oregon):

Word got out that Corso is high on the Utes.

“Well, good for Lee," Coach Kyle Whittingham said. "It seems like most of the time when I'm watching that and he's got to choose us or the opponent, he doesn't choose us very often. Maybe he's had a change of heart. Thanks, Lee."

Oh yeah, Kyle Whittingham responded to @CollegeGameDay's Lee Corso's prediction having Utah in the national championship.#Utes #CollegeGameday #RivalryWeek pic.twitter.com/0wK1tBSqnd
