How blessed we are: LSU is in its 4th NC game, more than anyone else

Except of course Alabama, which has played in 7. (BCS + Playoffs). Only FSU, Okla., OSU and Clemson can match this record, putting LSU in an elite group of 6 teams that have dominated the BCS/Playoff era - No other team can claim more than 2 appearances. I find this interesting, because despite this record, given how evenly spread out LSU's appearances have been, it doesn't feel like it. IMO, this makes LSU's NC games more special for the fans, and gives the team the 'underdog' chip heading into the game, despite LSU's 'elite' membership in this exclusive group of six.

NOTE: If you expand this to include the Alliance/Coalition years going back to 1992, you can add Florida and Nebraska to the group, and increase Ala./FSU's count to 8/6 appearances. (I'm not counting Miami's 1994 and Nebraska's 1997 appearances given what happened those years)
