Stephen A. Smith predicts that TCU will win the national championship

ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith predicts the TCU Horned Frogs will defeat the Georgia Bulldogs in the national championship game. Smith was not a believer in TCU until the Horned Frogs shocked Michigan in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

If TCU wins the national championship, the Horned Frogs would be one of the best underdog stories ever. Stephen A. Smith thinks Georgia has the better team, but he has a feeling TCU will pull off the upset.
