New Years 6 Projections as polls stand now (title updated)

Because of automatic qualifiers to the Sugar and Rose bowls (both have both of their teams contractually obligated from a conference) and the playoffs being the Cotton and Orange bowls, there are only 3 At Large spots available this year with the 4th being an automatic qualifier to the best G5 team.

For example in a year when the Rose and Sugar are the playoff games, there are 5 at large spots (the Cotton, Peach, and Fiesta have no obligations for which conference needs to fill their spots). The Orange Bowl in a non playoff year takes the highest ranked non playoff ACC team in those years and then has a restricted at large selection between a non playoff Notre Dame/SEC/B1G team (how the other conferences allowed for this extra automatic qualifier I'll never know, unless someone else does and fills us in). then the highest ranked Group of 5 team gets an at large spot.

As of now we are ranked high enough to merit an At Large selection. Based on the most recent AP poll (CFP hasn't been released yet and it'll still probably be pretty close) the New Years 6 will shake out like this (asterisk indicates conference champion):

Playoffs:
Cotton:
Alabama*
Michigan*
Orange:
Clemson*
Notre Dame

New Years 6:
Rose:
Ohio State
Washington State*

Sugar:
UGA
Oklahoma*

Peach:
At Large
At Large

Fiesta:
At Large
At Large

Based on current standings the 4 at large teams after the Rose and Sugar Bowls fill their obligations are:

#7 WVU
#9 LSU
#11 UCF* (G5 champion)
#12 Kentucky

So those 4 teams would be assigned between the Peach and Fiesta bowls. Another interesting piece of information is UCF is actually highly ranked enough to be placed in a NY6 bowl even without their automatic qualifier of being the G5 champion.

TL;DR:
LSU if it can hold serve is eligible for an At large berth to the Peach or Fiesta Bowls or as the SECs representative in the Sugar Bowl
