Uhh, cause they just went on the road and knocked off the #1 team.

Not sure why everyone keeps saying this...there are plenty of "gurus" out there that have LSU playing in the Fiesta Bowl.

Anyone who's answer isn't simply JFF, doesn't get it.

Right now they're a team with a very excited fan base and one of the more marketable players in the country. That's all these BCS bowls care about.

You don't have to tell me how well LSU fans travel. Hope the fiesta officials are aware.
TAMU has enrollment over 50,000 and would 'travel' just as well

Because A&M couldn't win the Big 12 and go to conference aligned Fiesta Bowl so they are doing it via the SEC.

Ummm...They beat God's team?

Shockingly the bowl committee, might think about taking a team with a large fan base, that's starved for a good team and might be excited to travel to a big bowl, that's from the 2nd largest state if they finish in the top 10.
Of course this would be the first time ever they would take a team over a higher ranked team, that's never happened.

It won't matter when LSU ends up #4 in the BCS.

Because ESPN hates LSU!

If FSU beats Florida and USC beats Notre Dame, LSU will finish #4 and be a BCS automatic and locked into the Fiesta or Rose. Bama/UGA winner to Sugar, Bama/UGA loser to Cap1, and A&M to Cotton.
If LSU doesn't manage to finish in the Top4, Fiesta/Rose will still pick LSU over A&M. Don't worry, once all the emotions subside about A&M's win over Bama, everyone will come to their senses and realize there is little, if any, chance the Fiesta/Rose pass on #5 LSU.
Bottom line: If LSU wins out and FSU beats Florida, LSU is going to a BCS bowl, either the Fiesta or the Rose. (or Sugar if Bama/UGA somehow slides back into the BCSCG)
Ideally we finish #4 and there is no discussion, it will be automatic. But IMO, even if we don't get into the Top4, we're still going BCS over A&M, assuming FSU beats Florida.

I just put in for 8 tickets for Fiesta (the other big bowls).
:fingers crossed:

If LSU wins convincingly, I see us in a BCS bowl game.

If LSU wins out I doubt seriously the Fiesta is taking A & M over us. LSU would be ranked higher, would be the bigger get as a program, and the fiesta has old Big 12 tie ins........ A & M dumped the big 12.
Florida winning out is the real danger.

Only Brad Edwards (ESPN) has the aggies in the Fiesta. Schlabach (ESPN), CBS, Sports Illustrated and All Sports have LSU in the Fiesta.
Cotton really wants the aggies and longhorns to play.....venge match.

I would be extremely disappointed if we go back to the cotton especially if Tex A&M to to a BCS bowl. That would suck mightily.
