re: When was the last time before this year LSU was not bowl eligible?

LSU fans think the sugar bowl will take their 8 win at best team. Delusion.

Just like mouth breathers thinking LSU won't get a bowl game. Delusion.

A few teams got waivers last year to play bowls with 5 wins (there were only 77 eligible teams for 80 bowl slots). I'm fairly certain it'll be similar this year.

In fact, there are currently 49 bowl eligible teams with 23 teams 1 win away from being eligible. That leaves 8 spots still open for teams that need to win 2 games. Source
