LSU was going to the Rose bowl assuming USC was going the BCS championship game. On championship game weekend, USC lost to a big underdog UCLA and therefore got bumped down to the rose bowl which in turn knocked LSU down to the Sugar. A lot of people here give WAFB shite for reporting in advance the LSU was going to the rose bowl. At the time they were accurate. NO ONE thought UCLA would beat USC and the Rose bowl had already told LSU they would be selected pending USC's fate.

I thought we were going to play in the Rose Bowl because Florida was going to the Sugar Bowl as SEC champs, but when they got selected for the National Championship game we were the next SEC team up for the Sugar.
