LSU finished up the regular season 9-3 and was ranked #16.
Now that the bowls are almost over, it seems the top rung of Top 25 teams got their bells rung, but the middle tier (at least those above LSU) won.

#3 Bama (11-1 prebowl), #5 Stanford (11-2), #6 Baylor (11-1), and #7 tOSU ((12-1) all lost.
Teams ranked 8-15 all won, with the exception of #13 Okie State.
We will obviously jump Okie State, but won't likely get over the top bracket losers.
So I'm guessing a #15 final finish.

Funny, if the better ranked teams won all of their respective bowl games (e.g., Bama beating Oklahoma), LSU might have cracked the top 10.

actually zero, the final BCS poll was published 12/8 and LSU was #16.

I think Clemson, OU and UCF winning BCS bowls pretty much kills any chance LSU could have finished in the top 10 of the AP or Coaches polls, we may only move up 1 spot in each.

No chance. What doesn't help LSU's cause is they beat an unranked team.

#11 Clemson 40 - # 6 tOSU 35
#9 Mizzou 41 - #13 OSU 31
#10 OU 45 - #3 UA 31
#15 UCF 52 - #5 Baylor 42
#4 MSU 24 - #5 Stanford 20
#8 SCar 34 - #19 Wisconsin 24
#12 Oregon - UT 7


We may actually drop to #15 with UCF moving up a bit. Cowboys may drop below us.

================
EDIT
No worries, we finished with a bowl win. Gear up for next year.

The polls generally just go by number of losses. LSU lost 3 games. Losing to Ole Miss cost LSU any chance of top 10 ranking. That's the way it is in college football. Book it! Wishful thinking.

Final bcs is out. If they did one after the bcs title game. We still would have been #1 in 2011.
