We are not a flashy team for tv offense is boring we barely beat ole miss and arkansas to end the season. Now im happy to be going to a great bowl but tv wants flashy like a and m and teams that sell big players.

Or maybe because how stack heavy the SEC was and LSU really is the 4th-5th best team?

Let's get this straight; the Chick Fil A Bowl is a great bowl and we will have a prime time audience on New Years Eve against a good Clemson team. Both of us are ranked in the top 15.
We beat the mess out of GA Tech and Miami in our last two Chick Fil A Bowls, so odds are in our favor to give Clemson hell.
At this point; we need to win big and have some momentum going into next season!

Exactly. When your only selling point is the head coach making goofy comments/gametime management decisions and your defense has to make huge plays to stop Auburn and Arkansas from scoring a touchdown in the last possession of the 4th quarter, you get to play Clemson in the Chick Fila game.

LSU has had some of the largest TV ratings in college football over the past couple of years.

We are not going to the Cotton Bowl because the match up of a current and former Big 12 conference member (A&M and Oklahoma) is going to generate more interest in the game due to the story line than we would have generated by showing up there, no matter which Big 12 team showed. This would be true even if we averaged 50 points per game. Remember, this is about money, not merit. The powers that be really do not care how many points we score.

It is hard for me to watch LSU play and I love them... But how do we expect others to want to watch LSU, when we look like garbage even when we win!!

Small part.
1. Northern Illinois issue is major, which bumped Oklahoma to the Cotton.
2. SEC protecting Georgia. Having them slip to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl would have been unacceptable to Georgia, Altanta and the SEC. Capital One Bowl wanted TxAM, but SEC worked the bowl management enough to get Georgia in...which started the following domino effect:
- Could not put South Carolina in the CFBowl since they play Clemson every year. No TV draw and no bowl attendance draw. CFBowl has the #2 ACC team tie-in so the could not dump Clemson. Cotton did not want South Carolina but the Outback Bowl did.
- Cotton wanted TxAM as long as U of Texas was not there. Due to point 1 above, U of Okla drew the tie-in bid and allowed the Cotton to grab TxAM.
- The best course for the SEC was LSU being slotted in teh CF Bowl. Just how it worked out.
REGARDLESS, LSU has an excellent match-up. Flashing name and offense, ranked in top 15-20, and one of the better teams in the ACC. We have the ability and tools to blow them out the GA Dome.
If we do, expect a top 5 finish, maybe higher if some other bowls are upsets.
