All of the highly TV rating games are because of ranking matchups, that doesn't change the fact that LSU is one of the better draws in college football.
All well watched games are due to the matchup. The nation doesn't care about LSU if it's not vs a highly ranked opponent.
Style points matter, not sure if they would have helped here or not, but they wouldn't hurt. You do have to create interest from officials, and unfortunately LSU was lost in a quagmire of highly ranked SEC teams this year.
A&M got the marquis win and has the marquis player, which is why LSU isn't in Dallas/FW.

the nation cares about very few games against lower ranked opponents.
Bowls are about injections into the local economy. Yes, they may be swayed some by their conference tie-in, or by their TV affiliate, but the bowl committees first comparison between 2 teams are economic ones.
