There seems to be confusion from some about what bowl games LSU can make. I’ll help.

Option 1:
LSU beats Georgia- They go to the Sugar Bowl. No questions asked. The sugar takes the SEC champion even if they are 7-5. If the SEC champion is in the playoff, the Sugar takes the next highest ranked SEC team.

Option 2
LSU loses to Georgia- Seeing as to it they are ranked 14th, a new years 6 is out of the equation. After the New Years 6 are selected, the Citrus bowl gets to pick from the remaining SEC and Big 10 teams. Likely LSU-Purdue as they could pit the SEC champ loser vs the Big 10 champ loser

Option 3:
LSU loses to Georgia- Citrus decides LSU is coming off 2 straight losses and decides to select USCe coming off 2 top 10 wins. After the Citrus the SEC office works to place team in bowl games. That would mean they would likely get put in a game (Outback/Gator) with Notre Dame as it would drive up tv ratings and bring in more revenue


Hope this helps

There is no helping a lot of the people that post here. They see what they want to see, and become convinced that whatever they believe is absolute fact.

I’ll take the Texas bowl so I can go. If it’s not top 4 or a ny6 bowl, it doesn’t matter

A ND vs LSU matchup would generate a ton of interest outside of the LSU fans.

Great post. You probably have too much sense for this place though.

Outside of the playoff games all of the bowl games are essentially exhibition games for entertainment purposes. The winner doesn’t “advance” to the next round. The season just ends for both teams. So I don’t really care about the venue as much as seeing a compelling matchup.

While unlikely to happen, I’d prefer to see something like LSU v Clemson in the Reliaquest Bowl over LSU v Tulane in the Sugar.

Idc what bowl game they go to now, they had their chance but blew it. Participation trophies should never be the goal. I know we were picked to barely win 6 games but this is why they play the games. Very proud of the season they had with the adversity in the beginning of the season losing to Florida State and being short on scholarship players etc. Kelly did a great job coaching overall and putting a quality product on the field this season and future is bright. Theycould play in the independence bowl really wouldn’t matter it’s a glorified scrimmage that half your key players opt out of that are going pro. Bowl games are more for the next season seeing some of the guys buried in depth chart getting a chance to build some momentum for the next year, that is about all they are good for outside the playoffs.
