What is your source on this? Is there any way I can place a wager on those odds? If so, let me know and I'll split my winnings with you.

You should consider getting your persecution complex in check
Persecution complex. Interesting phrase. Listen, I don't wish for David Hale to be harassed or treated in an unfair way because of his projection, but I believe his pick is awful.
The purpose of these bowl projections isn't to try and predict upsets, it is to, based on how a team has played for the year, project which bowl game that team should play in. If David Hale had a chance to win a million dollars based on predicting LSU's bowl game correctly, I guarantee he would pick a different bowl and that's what I have a problem with.

LSU will play in a Florida bowl

I wouldn't be so sure. Bowls are all about ticket sales. I doubt that the Citrus Bowl wants us for the 2nd year in a row. Combine that with the fact that LSU fans have not traveled well to the past few bowl games in Florida. I wouldn't be surprised to see us in the Texas Bowl against a Big 12 team (probably Okie State).

Not anymore. It's all about TV ratings. Here is info from an article about it. The article is 2 years old, but is still pertinent.
quote:
"More money in sports is starting to come from TV than from tickets. There was a day when the only thing that justified the game going on was ticket sales, because there was no TV.
quote:
even though ticket demand is relatively low for lesser bowls, millions of viewers keep watching, even if it's the Camellia Bowl in Montgomery, Ala., a game that drew just 20,256 fans last week but attracted an average television audience of 1,114,000, according to ESPN.
quote:
Only one bowl game last year drew fewer than 1.2 million viewers on average, according to Nielsen. That's better than the 1.1 million who watched an opening day baseball game last year between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
The down side of this is that schools have to eat a lot of unused tickets. Alleva will lobby hard to get LSU to a bowl where LSU can sell tickets and still be attractive for the network. He was pivotal in brokering the deal that got LSU to Nashville to play Notre Dame a couple years ago. He will do everything in his power to keep LSU away from a shitty matchup that our fans wouldn't buy tix for, but it's ultimately up to the league, who has ESPN's schlong tickling their tonsils.

David Hale bumped LSU up to the Liberty Bowl.
As an LSU fan, how can you not be offended by this?
ETA: The reason you should be offended is because David Hale is ranking South Carolina and Texas A&M ahead of LSU.
