College football analyst and former Georgia Bulldogs defensive end David Pollack considers the Penn State Nittany Lions, Texas Longhorns and Clemson Tigers to be his top national championship contenders. Of that trio, Pollack likes for Clemson to take home the national championship.
“I think Clemson’s just gonna have a special year,” Pollack said on the “See Ball Get Ball” podcast. “And I do think that defense turns it around immediately and I think they got some dudes at positions, man. Like at the most important positions, they’ve got some really, really good football players that are that are going to be a handful for a lot of people when they play. So give me the Clemson Tigers to win the national championship this football season.”

Clemson is coming off a 10-4 season where they won the ACC championship and lost in the first round of the College Football Playoff. The Tigers return several All-Americans in quarterback Cade Klubnik, defensive tackle Peter Woods and defensive end T.J. Parker. Clemson is expected to win the ACC championship over the Miami Hurricanes and has an easier path to the playoff than most contenders.
In a note for Georgia fans, Pollack thinks it is good that the Dawgs are being doubted and knows Georgia coach Kirby Smart will use that as motivation. Pollack also added that he has been impressed with some lesser-known Georgia players in practice.
