Ul-Laf. in N.O. Bowl....

I know this is the LSU forum, but like many on here, I graduated from USLSU. Good luck to the Cajuns...the success of the second tier La. schools helps LSU, by among other things improving the strength of our non-conference schedule in the computer rankings. (Though not a Louisiana school, W. Kty. should've been in a bowl at 8-4. We didn't need them for our SoSch this year, but in the future you never know.) ULL helped Okla. State this season, just as Ohio helped Bama. A win by LSU over La. Tech is better if the Bulldogs go to a bowl, as they are this year. And the success of the secondary La. schools might just keep some recruits who might not be academically qualified for LSU remain in-state instead of going to Ole Miss/Miss. State, etc.
