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.

Both are correct. USC’s loss opened the door for Florida to get in.

Correct. Florida got in to the championship game bc of the USC loss to UCLA. Originally it was going to be
USC - fiesta / championship game
Florida - sugar
LSU - Rose
It ended up with
Florida - Fiesta / championship
LSU - Sugar
USC - rose
Keep in mind I say LSU got 'bumped down' to the sugar Bc most LSU fans wanted to play in the rose bc it was still very rare for non big 10 or PAC 10 teams to play in the rose.
