re: More LSU butthurting. Leave the SEC?

It's not so much the Chick-fil-a bowl but the perceived influence of Slive on the process. LSU is ranked higher plus beat A&M but didn't get that bid. Obviously having the Heisman winner was the key and the Cotton Bowl made best invite for their Bowl's interest. I think a few are upset that Slive was thought to be using his influence to get A&M the invite, which was taken as a big FU to LSU.

Who would think this?

What's more plausible (and by that I mean don't be an idiot): Slive & Co. strong-arming the Cotton Bowl until it acquiesced and took A&M, or the Cotton Bowl, by its own volition, selecting A&M -- a team located in Texas with a long history in the bowl, fresh and interesting drama with the Big 12, and boasting the Heisman winner to boot -- over LSU.

Please.

There was only one choice to make here. Even suggesting otherwise is just silly.
