re: Here are the facts about the SEC's bowl tie-ins & LSU's bowl chances

That's not how tie ins work.

Bowls are not locked into seeds.

That is the order that the bowls select.

it is more an order of selection than ranking they are locked into. as many have already pointed out there is also a gentleman's agreement for some bowls to take teams from the east and some bowls to take teams from the west.

Cotton usually takes a SEC west team (13 of the last 15 years)

Outback usually takes a SEC east team (14 of the last 15 years)

We still have to see how things play out, if Bama were to get a NCG bid then maybe:

BCS NCG: Alabama
Sugar: probably Auburn
Capital One: maybe USC
Cotton: maybe LSU
Outback: maybe MU
Chick Fil: maybe A&M or Ole Miss (woo hoo, they found Atlanta!)
Gator: maybe UGA or Ole Miss
Music City: maybe UGA or Ole Miss
Liberty: Vandy
Compass: no eligible SEC team unless MSU upsets Ole Miss this week
