re: The Wet Weather in Baton Rouge Who Does It Benefit?

Considering that was LSU excuse for losing to Penn State probably auburn so they will only lose by 17 instead of getting blown out.

"Wet weather" wasn't the excuse against Penn State. The playing surface was absolutely unplayable.

The game was notable for its poor field conditions. Eight state high school championship games had been played at the stadium in recent weeks, but the turf was replaced immediately after the last games on December 19. The Champs Sports Bowl, played ten days later, badly damaged the new turf. The grounds crew worked frantically over the next three days in an attempt to get the field in shape for the Capital One Bowl, but ultimately failed. As a result, this was the last Capital One Bowl to be played on grass as artificial turf was installed at the Citrus Bowl several months later.
