The "BCS" doesn't take anyone. The Fiesta or Rose Bowls do and they care about selling tickets and TV ratings not who beat who or taking #5 over #7 or whatever.
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

The Rose Bowl seems very unlikely unless Fiesta changes course and takes Notre Dame over OU to replace Kansas State.
If Fiesta takes OU as Edwards said his sources are saying they will do, then the Rose is without question going to take Notre Dame.
The big question is will Fiesta take A&M or LSU to face OU. And it is certainly up for discussion, but IMO LSU will get the nod when all is said and done.

Also, never forget the gigantic stick up the arse of the Rose Bowl. They really do view themselves as the gatekeepers of the most hallowed grounds in college football. They are not going to give a bid to some upstart like A&M, having one good year, over LSU, who has sustained excellence for over a decade.
LSU's biggest worry is not A&M, it is Florida. We need to root real hard for FSU.

and the rest of your post backs up what I said.
Texas has 4 times the population as La. LSU does not have as much national appeal as you think. Not to say we have none, but outside of ND, national appeal is marginal. A&M fans are very excited and there are a lot of them. They would travel to a BCS bowl and watch on TV.

Depends on who winds up #1. The bowl that loses the #1 team picks first and will take Notre Dame if ND is not in the BCS CG. If Oregon wins out that probably are the #1 team and the Rose Bowl will take them. If they are gone, then I think we have a good shot. But just because A&M hasn't been very food lately doesn't meant their fans won't go to a BCS bowl.
