If Bama and LSU are #1 and #2 at the end of the year and we are a top 16 team we can go to the Sugar Bowl...check yo facts

I did... and you are completely inaccurate.

Feel free to read the rules. BCS Rules of Eligibility.

However, to help you along, read this quote from the Rules:

At-large Eligibility

If there are fewer than 10 automatic qualifiers, then the bowls will select at-large participants to fill the remaining berths. An at-large team is any Football Bowl Subdivision team that is bowl-eligible and meets the following requirements:

•A. Has won at least nine regular-season games, and
•B. Is among the top 14 teams in the final BCS Standings.

No more than two teams from a conference may be selected, regardless of whether they are automatic qualifiers or at-large selections, unless two non-champions from the same conference are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the final BCS Standings.

So, with that clearly spelled out, if LSU is the automatic qualifier as Conference Champion and Alabama is the other SEC school in as an at-large selection, and since it clearly spells out a maximum of two teams from a conference can qualify, then that would leave Arkansas out.
