How many MNC games has LSU lost and won?

This is a post I put in the OT:
I believe the 73 Orange Bowl is the only game LSU lost and the winner was crowned the NC.
I believe the only other game with NC implications that we won(other than our two NC games and the 58 Tulane game), is the 1966 Cotton Bowl vs Arkansas. We beat them and they lost the NC.
Can you think of anymore? (I am talking a game where the winner is crowned the NC, not a mid-season beating of a#1 or #2)

Tonight on Pawn Stars, a guy brought in a 1973 Orange Bowl Penn State ring. I was gonna call the shop tonight to see if it was for sale. They ended up not buying it because the engraving on the inside was scratched out and they say it is illegal to buy jewelry with the engraving scratched out. Anyone know why? The original owner of the ring was still on the outside. I am not sure if the metal mark was still there. I would have bought that thing for my collection.

Penn State was undefeated but wasn't the NC that year. Notre Dame won the AP and Alabama won the coaches poll (last year that the final coaches poll was released before the bowls).

The answer is won 2, lost none.
In 1958, the bowls were played after the final polls. I presume that's why you claim the Tulane game was a MNC game. Was Tulane a contender for the MNC that year?
And we weren't going to be crowned MNC for winning those bowl games in 66, 71, or 73, so you can't call those MNC games on the same level as today's BCS era championship games.
In the pre BCS era there was rarely a true 1 vs 2 bowl matchup to give us a head to head end of year showdown. Kinda the whole reason the BCS came into existence.
