I’m sure that every ‘9 thru 12’ playoff team (and their fan base) will believe that they are the exception and will be able to compete against these top teams on the road in Round 1. No doubt LSU will fit that scenario after a moderately good season in the future. So I understand why most fans will want to see more chances to get into the playoffs. But having one of these teams advance to Round 2 will be as rare as hen’s teeth.
