THis was just emailed out by WJBO, "ESPN Radio is reporting that LSU will be invited to play in the Rose Bowl. ESPN says several unnamed sources on the BCS selection committee have confirmed that LSU will get the invitation. The offical word won't come until Sunday night at 7pm on FOX 44 and WJBO." Is this true? Then we are a lock right?

Domestic tranquility among the BCS bowls? Maybe. According to several BCS sources, the Rose Bowl, with an eye on "what's best for the BCS," will invite SEC West runner-up LSU to play Michigan or Southern Cal (if the Trojans are upset by UCLA Saturday).

The official announcements won't come until Sunday, but barring a major change in attitude, the Rose Bowl is ready to have its first SEC team in Pasadena since Alabama in 1946.

Notre Dame would slide to the Sugar Bowl to face the SEC champion, the winner of Saturday's game between Florida and Arkansas. The Orange Bowl would then pair the ACC champion (Wake Forest or Georgia Tech) vs. the Big East champion (Rutgers or Louisville). The Fiesta Bowl would match Boise State vs. the winner of the Nebraska-Oklahoma Big 12 championship game.

And the BCS title game would be No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 2 USC, as long as USC beats UCLA. A USC loss would probably put Michigan into the BCS title game.

Although there was some sentiment for a Notre Dame-Michigan game -- they are the two winningest teams in college football history and Notre Dame hasn't been in the Rose Bowl since 1925 -- the prospect of the third- and fourth-ranked teams playing each other also was appealing. It also solves the debate about rematches.

Slide to the Sugar? I'm sure some officials with the Sugar Bowl would beg to differ. I don't see it as a slide.

I know..."Granddaddy of them all". That is just media hype. The Grandaddy was locked for years and the BCS finally allowed them to bring in some good games.

I'm curious...is Keith Jackson still doing Rose Bowl gmaes?

WHOA NELLIE!!

The USC - UT Rose Bowl was Keith's last. The bad news is that Brent "You're Looking Live" Nasalberger replaced him.
