re: Here are the facts about the SEC's bowl tie-ins & LSU's bowl chances

If I remember, a certain bowl being assigned "SEC #4" or "SEC #6" or whatever, does not refer to the actual standings/rankings. It means that bowl gets the 4th or 6th choice of teams.
There are also "gentlemans's agreements" with other bowls concerning the choosing of East or West teams, as well, which is why LSU will never play in the Outback Bowl, for example.
Also, to me it's a crime that the loser of the SECCG is not automatically considered as the SEC's second BCS Bowl participant.

What are your facts based on?
Reality, maybe? Look at past rankings and bowl selections to see that the bowl selection committees don't choose strictly on rankings.

If Missouri loses to Bama and Auburn is ranked higher, which it should, they will jump Missouri for the 2nd best bowl.

russian you call it unrealistic but if the experts are saying we are going there its not so unrealistic.
plus I haven't said we are going there I'm just saying that we could go there, there is still a lot of football to be played and a lot of things to happen before bowl games are decided.

If Auburn loses to Bama I suspect they will go to a BCS bowl game probably the sugar.

Until the Cotton Bowl picked "out of order" by taking TAMU over LSU.

Last I checked (been a couple of seasons), it's pretty simple:
Capital One - first overall pick after BCS
Outback/Cotton are equal - first choice of East/West. If they want a team from the other division, they have to wait for the other to pick first.
Chicken - next pick
... and all the rest
There are some nuances about who they can pass over.

There is no seeding. The # is what order they pick in. The bowls will pick who they think will put the most asses in the seats. You should know this shite.

Why would Auburn go to the Sugar? They would take an At-Large bid over Auburn if they lose to Bama.

I'm guessing they won't pick LSU and probably the top team from the east if this is the case

this is why the top SEC east team to the cotton is not feasible, this is because the outback will likely pick the top SEC east team if they don't go the BCS. If Auburn goes to the BCS it is likely that LSU goes to the cotton because if things work like they always do Cotton picks the 2nd or 3rd best team from the west.

because Auburn is impressive have beat some good teams and only lost to a seemingly unbeatable Bama team and LSU. Plus the sugar likes to take SEC teams.
but question when is the last time 2 SEC teams have not been to a BCS bowl games?

LSU will likely finish the #6 "seed" in the SEC. Finishing above LSU will be Alabama, Auburn, Missouri, South Carolina and Georgia.
Georgia has 4 losses overall. We will finish ahead of georgia bowl wise, and we currently trail only bama, aubbie, s.c., and missouri.
Now, if aubbie loses to bama and mizzou loses to tx am, a team we beat, then at end of season aubbie and mizzou will have 2 losses. S.c. will also have two losses if they win out.
So at that point it will be the same 4 teams ahead of us bowl wise, but we beat aubbie head to head, and beat a team that beat mizzou (assuming txam beats them). And they will be 10-2 and us 9-3 (assuming we beat arky).
Its tough to say, but that looks to me like aubbie goes sugar, mizzou capital one, and lsu cotton. South carolina will lose to bama (in sec championship game) and get outback bowl. Georgia gets gator bowl
