Brad Crawford of CBS Sports recently projected the 10 best home-field advantages this fall for the upcoming 2026 College Football season.

At No. 3 on his list from LSU's Nov. 14th matchup vs. Texas at Tiger Stadium.

3. Tiger Stadium (Texas at LSU, Nov. 14)
The wealthiest rosters in the country meet in mid-November for what could be a season-defining contest for both coaching staffs. Tiger Stadium will be extremely loud the previous weekend against Alabama, and somehow, it may surpass that on the intensity scale should LSU beat the Crimson Tide and Texas enters inside the top 5. Those are both strong possibilities. No time has been set yet, but it's unlikely the SEC will do the Longhorns any favors. This has night game in Death Valley written all over it.

LSU fans have been waiting a long time for this matchup in Tiger Stadium after the 2020 rematch in Baton Rouge was canceled during the shortened covid season.

I think perhaps he means sticking our band in the uppers, which we cannot do, or sticking the visitors section in the uppers which we cannot do. Or cutting off their ac, which probably wont matter to much in mid November.

I have never been to Neyland. I have heard it’s overrated as far as environment.

Once we implemented the piper in music, it’s dropped off big time. We are former #1 and maybe not even top 5 with piped in music
