ARE the LSU Tigers going to the rose bowl  ?

Yes, they are. \n\nFlorida or Arkansas will go to the Sugar as the SEC champ (automatic bid). If Florida loses the SEC, they'll end up in the Orange Bowl, accepting the at-large selection (good for recruiting). If Arkansas loses, the Rose wouldn't take them becasue they won't travel well, and they're a 2 loss team that got whipped by USC and recently lost to LSU; Ark. would end up in the Cotton. \n\nLSU has a strong following, and next best Pac 10 team has 3 losses and is ranked 18th in the BCS (Cal), so no way the Rose touches them. Since the Rose Bowl has first choice of the teams that play in a BCS game (there are no conference requirements as some have posted) a #5 LSU seems like a strong candidate.

All signs point to LSU heading to the Rose Bowl (to play Michigan). If Florida loses to Arkansas, it's almost certain that Arkansas would be heading to the Sugar, and LSU to the Rose Bowl. \n\nLSU would most likely get the nod over a two loss Florida because Florida's loss would be more recent, and LSU's only losses are to Florida and Arkansas on the road, while Florida losses would be at Auburn and Arkansas (on a neutral field). \n\nLSU would also be ranked higher in the BCS Standings, and would be a more appealing choice over Florida. \n\nNevertheless, if Florida wins they're at least heading to the Sugar Bowl, with an outside chance shot at the NCG (if USC loses, and Florida passes Michigan in the polls).

Being a die-hard Gator fan my heart says FL.  If we implement the same game plan as LSU did to defeat them we should be alright.  FL has one of the best run defenses in the country but they will be tested Sat, McFadden(ark. rb) is a beast.  Also FL will have to score more points than in previous weeks, 21 pts. wont be enough against Ark. In all it should prove to be the best game on this weekend. GO GATORS\n\nP.s: No matter who wins this game its going to be USC & Ohio St. for the National Title. The winner of the SEC Champ game will likely play Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.

I have to say Arkansas. They got killed to USC but they are going to the national championship.Arkansas lost to LSU by 5 so I say Arkansas will win.

I think they are the most improved team in college football.  They are returning 19 starters, which makes them one of the most experienced teams in the country.  RB Darren McFadden will post "Heisman Type Numbers", but he won't get any consideration for the award of course  because his team wont be a winner.  But I do believe he will be a First Team All-American.  But even with that being said, the SEC is far to good for the Razorbacks to be a winning squad...  they'll improve on last years 4-7 record, with maybe 5 or 6 wins max !!!  And I can't wait to see what will happen when they face off with USC again !!!  I know they're itching to get back at the Trojans for that 70-17 debacle from last year !!!  And one more thing...  the Razorbacks are bringing in the best recruit of the 06' class, a QB named Mitch Mustain who may compete for the starting job this year !!!!  Arkansas will be very interesting to keep an eye out for...  don't be surprised if they upset a few teams this year !!!

LSU - 5 TIMES BIGGER AND MANY MORE OPPURTUNITIES. DUKE IS GETTING A BLACK EYE WITH THE LACROSSE SCANDAL AND REDDICK'S ARREST YESTERDAY. ALSO, TONS MORE IN SCHOLARSHIP MONEY GIVEN OUT.

If they beat UCLA to close out the season, they will be in the national title game I'm guessing. They play the game on the road, so it might not be an easy place to win, given the fact that it is hostile territory, and a rivalry game. USC has hope that Washington State beat them on their home turf, and USC is a much better team than the Cougars are this season. The person who below me who said it should have been Auburn should know Auburn has two losses. One was to an Arkansas team that got beat by USC handily, while the other loss was to Georgia, who lost to Vanderbilt and Kentucky during the regular season. That's\nall needs to be said about why Auburn doesn't deserve to go to\nthe national championship game, or any BCS game.

LSU has the best talent in the nation. When they want to play they can play with anyone, but they are also very capable of getting beat by anyone just as we saw last night. The coaching staff at LSU, Les Miles, is very average. If this talent was coached by a Spurrier, Richt, or even Urban warfare then LSU would be in a run for the crystal football. I love sec football, and I believe all football besides SEC or ACC is a complete joke. Everyone talked about Michigans defense being so good, give me a break. If Michigan was in the SEC they would have probally the 5th best defense and they would have lost atleast one game. Arkansas is having a very good year, but LSU has a very talented team. If LSU plays up to their potential they will beat the hogs, but they have not played to that high standard last night so we will just see.\n-also if you want to play the margin game LSU beat alabama handily while the hogs beat them in ot.

Since the Rose Bowl is one of the BCS bowl games, there is a rotation of which of the BCS bowls picks it participants first.\n\nContractually, they will take the PAC-10 champ vs the Big 10 champ.  If one of those teams is selected by one of the other bowls or is in the championship game, they pick an at large team.

Tyrus Thomas and Big baby Davis are one hell of a duo for LSU. They are going to be really hard to stop. You will see both of these big fellas in the NBA.  Go tigers

to crazy you are wrong on the sugar bowl,,    they would play in the rose bowl if they lost to michigan,,\n\nwho ever wins this game between mich and ohio state, will go to national championship game,, loser will go to rose bowl,, michigan beat wisconsin and their big ten season is over ,, \n\nhard to say who would be the opponent,,but if ohio state wins the big ten and stays #1 and florida wins the Sec,, florida would move to #2 in the polls, and i think thats how the championship game would turn out to be \n\nohio st vs florida,, and if michigan wins,, it would be michigan vs florida !!! if florida doesnt win the sec,, then its a toss up,, !!!\n\ndont think theyd have a notre dame/ michigan rematch,, but if they did that would be cool,, if michigan wins,, michigan kicked their butts earlier in the year like 49-28 or something,,, \n\nyou definitely wont see boise st in there but thats a good thought\n\nthis is why div 1A college football needs a playoff system,,but probably never will,, its all dollar driven !!\n\nevery other level has a playoff system and seeds their teams and they do playoffs to decide the eventual champion,,\n\nthe NCAA will need to look into it because this BCS crap is becoming  useless and over complicated and is not working out at all

it probably depends on USC winning the NC game.\n\nVince Young was going to stay...but after last year's amazing Rose Bowl, he did the right thing to go to the NFL.  Look at the millions of $$ Matt Leinart lost for staying for his senior year.\n\nIf Jarrett has an amazing game against Ohio State, I'd expect him to make the jump to the NFL.

I like LSU to take the SEC for two reasons...  One, they have what I believe to be the best QB in the country in JaMarcus Russell.  He's the biggest at 6'6 250 lbs, and has sub 4.6 - 40 speed.  And two, LSU has 8 of their 12 games in Baton Rouge which will more than likely be the toughest place to play in this year, and 4 of those games are coming in the first 5 games of the year.  If they survive games at Auburn and Florida, chances are they will go undefeated and compete for the national title in addition to winning the conference.
