Does a USC loss + a Florida blow out = Sugar?

Worst case would be for Ark to win.. Orange would probably take UF, thus eliminating LSU..

 

Doesn't the Rose pick before the Orange this year?

And if so, wouldn't they want a USC-LSU match up, the biggest non-BCS NCG since USC Michigan in 2003, thus choose LSU?

 

If Michigan goes to NC, then LSU is guaranteed a BSC bowl, being a top 4.

 

Blowout not likely...I think Arky will hold close...

CFN noted loss by USC...

Out of curiosity, do you have inside information access? What makes you so sure that the Sugar would take LSU (wouldnt they want to sell more hotels b/c of Katrina?) and how do you know that Florida has a 0% chance at the Rose?

 

LSU vs USC....no more needed to say

 

They'd already be selling hotels due to their opponent (especially if its Notre Lame) and who's to say they wouldn't be selling hotels to LSU fans?

Besides...it's just what New Orleans/Louisiana needs...a hometown team going to a hometown bowl game as it returns to Louisiana after a major disaster.

 

It's a no-brainer for the Sugar to pick LSU. The first post-katrina Sugar Bowl with the hometown boys. Plus, we proved we can pack New Orleans in '01 and '03.

 

Yes but LSU fans do not fill up hotels for 3-4 days like an out of town team will. I still think if it came down to it, there is a chance the sugar passes on us. I think it's a very slim chance but not so slim as to dismiss it all together. Although Florida should not jump michigan so it won't matter anyway.

Rose Bowl versus USC is a dream matchup. Especially because they aren't as good this year as in years past even though everyone thinks they are.
