How likely is it that TA&M jumps LSU for a BCS spot?

Is this really going to happen? I know both teams will win out and we will stay ahead of them, but would the selection committee choose them over us?
Someone please prove that statement wrong.

Nope, not if both win out.
BCS will take the "bigger name" and head-to-head winner.
LSU legitimately a "big boy" now.

we won't know til it happens one way or the other. Its up to the bowls and who is in the BCS CG. But it's possible.

It's possible, but more likely fiesta takes LSU. Odds are on our side, albeit by a whisker.
-higher ranked
-won head to head
-more "premier" matchup
-SEC might politely recommend something to make everyone happy (LSU-Fiesta, A&M-Texas Cotton)
If we end up in top4, discussion is moot because we are automatic

A&M loses to Sam Houston State this week. Book it.

There is no way to know either way.

Who do they have left? Mizzou and?

A&M plays Sam Houston State next. that is not going to help them.

If it is the Fiesta they go, if it is The Sugar LSU.

About as likely as we lose to Ole Miss at home or Arkansas on the road the next 2 weeks.
So really, slim to none.

I'm concerned we jump ourselves and let Ole miss beat us. We're due for a let down against them.

Hopefully Notre Dame loses to USC, and Florida loses to FSU.
In that case, we'd be #4, and A&M would be #5.
They would have to take us.

LSU might deserve it more, but Johnny Football is a bigger draw. I don't care if every grocery store in Louisiana is sold out of corn dogs, and every coon arse in the state knows the only place to get them is Arizona, and the ones without gas money are glued to their TV. Johnny Football is still a bigger draw. Deal with it.

...honest objective comment:
i'm not so convinced that the fiesta bowl will not take texas a&m over lsu if the aggies win out, even with lsu beating a&m, or the sugar bowl if bama falls to georgia. bama losing to uga is the best thing that can happen for a&m as for a bcs berth.
as an outsider of the two teams, I can tell you for sure, i'd much rather watch Johnnie Football and a&m play in the fiesta than I would lsu. fact is, a&m has just became one of the most marketable teams in america after last week's win at bama...much more marketable than lsu at this point, and marketing has everything to do with everything.

It is only a matter of time before aTm knocks LSU and Bama over the pedestal... They have a helluva lot more money and fan base is drastically larger. And their fan base is comprised of a lot more alum and not band wagon fans like LSU and Bama.... Manziel will play for a NC before he leaves aTm.

How likely is it that TA&M jumps LSU for a BCS spot? Not a chance if we win out. Plus they could lose one more.
