Now that LSU’s regular football season is finished, The Daily Reveille breaks down the Tigers’ bowl game prospects.

Not likely:

Sugar Bowl: With Alabama likely going to the College Football Playoff, the Sugar Bowl committee will select the next-highest ranked Southeastern Conference team in the final College Football Playoff rankings. When the latest College Football Playoff rankings came out, LSU was not ranked, while Auburn and Florida were ranked ahead of the Tigers. LSU would have to be ranked higher than those two teams when the rankings come out tonight.

Plausible:

Outback Bowl: If Florida loses on Saturday but Citrus Bowl reps still prefer Florida over LSU — considering they would have the same record and Florida won the head-to-head matchup — LSU would likely wind up in the Outback Bowl again. This game is on Jan. 2 in Tampa with a Big 10 and SEC team facing off.
Liberty Bowl: If the Citrus or Outback Bowl reps decide to pick another SEC team, the Liberty Bowl would be a logical choice because of distance. Memphis is only a five-hour drive from Baton Rouge, which would be an easier trip for LSU to make. LSU would be slated to play a team from the Big 12.

Likely:

Citrus Bowl: The SEC’s second-best team not in the CFP earns a Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl bid to face a Big 10 or ACC opponent. LSU needs Alabama to beat Florida in the SEC Championship, which would send the Gators tumbling below Auburn and possibly LSU in the Citrus Bowl reps’ minds. Florida losing its final game — albeit in the conference championship — could book LSU’s ticket to Orlando because a team coming off a loss is less desirable than one that won its final game.
