LSU @ The Rose Bowl

A massive bucket list item for me will be to travel with our Tigers playing in the Grand Daddy of Them All, the Rose Bowl.
Realistically, our boys have a shot THIS year as the CFP semi-final sites are the Rose Bowl & the Sugar Bowl. The next best chance will be in the 2023/2024 season.
[For those that don't know-the CFP semi-final sites are set to rotate between the big 6 sites of Rose, Fiesta, Cotton, Sugar, Peach, & Orange through 2025/2026. Due to the stubbornness of the Rose Bowm committee, the Rose Bowl will NOT host the CFP National Championship again in the foreseeable future due to its NYD parade/prominence/tradition]
So, unless a freaky bowl tie-in mix-up happens with the Top 4 in the next 5-6 seasons that opens up an extremely rare opportunity for a SEC team to head west, we have these 2 opportunities for LSU in Pasadena.
Given the pairings of Rose + Sugar each time for the semis, LSU would have to be the lower seed to be forced out of NOLA & another defacto CFP home game, right?
Man o man, what I wouldn't give to see our Tigers playing in that historic stadium in a play-off game. Wow.

Too early for this but points for having a dream

Lsu will be playing in The Rose Bowl against UCLA in September of 2021.

If LSU is the #1, it will be Sugar. If #4 it will be Rose.
It depends on who the #1 and #4 are if LSU is #2 or #3.
The committee will select so as to create the biggest advantage for the #1 seed.

Why would that matter? The associated bowl game and the National title game are two separate things. Why can’t they run the Rose as scheduled on NYD then host the title game on its schedule day a week or so later?

In 2006 we were on the verge of going before USC crapped the bed. I was lining up tickets and travel arrangements. I was depressed when we got moved to the Sugar bowl. We did thump ND good. That was fun to watch.
I agree a Rose Bowl game would be so cool!

That's still around? I thought Carville blew it up.
