Also, Tech went 9 and 2 and didn't get a bowl bid and LSU did. They either beat Alabama or Auburn that year.

When Louisiana Tech went 9-2, it was 2-2 against major conference teams. The two referenced wins were a 7 point win over a California team that finished 3-8 and by 6 over an Alabama team that finished 4-7. They only played one team, 10-3 Auburn, that finished with a winning record all year and lost that one by 49-13.

The next best record among the teams the played was 5-6 by UAB. Tech beat them by 3. Otherwise, they beat 3-8 Bowling Green, 5-7 Northeast Louisiana, 2-9 Central Michigan, 2-9 Arkansas State, 4-7 Boise State, and 1-10 Southwestern Louisiana. Their second loss was to 4-7 Arkansas.

LSU finished the regular season 8-3 that year against a much, much tougher schedule. It beat Alabama by 27 points. It lost to Auburn by 3. It also beat Arkansas.
