If we win out and lose to Florida in the SECCG, the sugar bowl will almost surely take us.


I don't think we do. The loser of the SECCG has only gotten a BCS at-latge bid once, and that was bama last year. But bama was rank #1 and undefeated going into the game. Its always best to lose early then it is to lose late.

Plus, the sugar bowl wants a traveling team. LSU, although we would travel well, alot willdrive up for the game or just stay a night or two. bama would travel well, and stay longer

I've never heard of this. I know someone on the committee, I'll have to ask him about it next time.

It seems to me the city makes a ton of money off of ticketless LSU fans who drive in to party all day and night. If you have a team come from a day's drive a way you aren't going to get those extra several thousand ticketless people coming to drop a few hundred bucks each on the city just to be in the same city and atmosphere and to watch the game with fellow LSU fans that they know will be there.
