One of the things that hurts LSU is being local. The bowl games are sponsored in major part by the hotel/motel/restaurant groups. While LSU could fill the stadium they wont necessarily fill downtown NOLA hotels and restaurents all weekend. They prefer to sell the three day weekend packages as much as possible. LSU will bring a lot of daytrippers. As long as there is a good travelling opponent that is not too big an issue.

Not true. Many people get hotels. It will be a real late drive after the sugar bowl because it's a night game

You are correct sir. Auburn is in and they suck right now. LSU is the hotter team but very doubtful we will be ranked higher.
