Does LSU become a lock for Cap One if Auburn beats Tennessee now that UGA and Ten struggled with inferior opponents ?

absoulutly!

they should have already been a lock if Auburn wins and hopefully we will find that out Saturday.

"struggling" is not part of this bowl picture. I think if Auburn wins, it's pretty set.

I guess anything can happen though.

LSU has struggled many games this year wth "inferior opponents". A win is a win. LSU deserves to go there solely based upon their record.
