I'm with you that it could go either way, and there is definitely no "guarantee" that Fiesta takes LSU over A&M, but IMO the odds of Fiesta going with LSU are a tad higher than the Fiesta going with A&M.
LSU definitely has a few variables that give LSU a slight edge in this discussion IMO.

I meant "BCS bowls", my bad ... and the rest of your post backs up what I said.

then it's pretty sure an LSU pick....i guarantee the Rose Bowl remembers 45,000 requests for tickets back in 2006....
plus LSU has a reputation for fans spending money when they get to their destination

Very true and IF it came to that --- aTm would be the selection - for exactly those reasons: Money and TV ratings
As far as money --- aTm's fan base is huge compared to LSU's --- 50K students vs. 25K -- over a long period of time = much larger fan base.
Secondly, aTm is "big bowl starved" and would travel to a BCS bowl in unprecedented numbers = $ windfall for BCS bowl site.
Potential Heisman candidate "Johnny Football" brings in the national TV audience to see this kid taking the College Football world by storm.
While LSU travels well.... in this scenario, I think aTm is the clear winner and would be the bowl's choice hands down.

A&M loses in both of these. Thanks for mentioning this

The top 4 don't get an automatic spot?
