Why does it seem like LSU always ends up playing teams ranked below us in Bowls?

The last time I remember playing someone ranked ahead of us with Oklahoma in 2003. I know I must be forgetting some.

Ohio State?

Because we're LSU and have finished the season ranked highly for the past decade?

we have a good coach & are ranked higher

There usually isn't many teams ahead of us

Especially due to us getting overlooked for a quality bowl, we are in the top 7 BCS so 1-6 all have the 4 primary bowls wrapped up. Therefore, we are left with the scraps.
Plus, we are usually up in the top 5 anyway

This is obvious. When you are ranked high, most teams will be ranked below you.

We weren't even ranked. They were actually pissed to be playing such a "lesser" team

This is what happens when you play in the premier conference in college football.
Bowls have conference tie-ins.

6 of the top 10 are in the SEC. Leaves you playing catfish.

Maybe because LSU is always ranked pretty high? 
I swear, some of you rantards would bitch if you were hung with a brand new rope!
