LSU to Rose Bowl?

It's starting to look like LSU is going to the Rose Bowl. According to several reports, including the Detroit Free Press, report that it's down to LSU and Notre Dame, with LSU getting the edge because, well, who the hell would watch a Notre Dame - Michigan rematch? This is a rare sound decision by the BCS. It matches up two great defenses and gets a big game for the always contentious SEC v. Big 10 debates. Plus, we don't have to watch LSU destroy Wake Forest or Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl.

As a side note, should LSU win, they would join just a handful of other schools who have won the four traditional big bowls, the Orange, Cotton, Sugar, and Rose. Here are the ones I know for sure: Alabama, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Texas, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Duke, Oklahoma, and Penn State. If there are others, please forgive my omission.
