Because they have a damn good record and they deserve to be in the Rose Bowl.
Here is some info about their record:
The LSU Tigers football team represents Louisiana State University in NCAA Division I-A college football. The team, currently coached by Les Miles, has consistently been one of the most successful programs in the nation since it began playing football in 1893. LSU entered the 2006 season with 669 victories, the 12th most in NCAA history, and the 4th most of any SEC team, behind only Alabama (774), Tennessee (752), and Georgia (693). LSU also entered the 2006 season with a 0.635 all-time winning percentage, the 16th best in the NCAA, and the 4th best in the SEC, behind only Alabama (0.712), Tennessee (0.697), and Georgia (0.642). LSU's Tiger Stadium, also known as "Death Valley", has a capacity of 92,400, making it the sixth largest sports stadium in the nation (not including racetrack stadiums)[1] and the second largest sports stadium in the SEC. Tiger Stadium has been constantly labeled by opponents as one of the toughest stadiums to play in for an opponent and has become one of college football's best homefield advantages. The intense crowd noise at an LSU-Auburn game once registered on the Richter-Scale on campus and is well-known as the "Earthquake Game."
