Especially are there opponents you'd like to see played as a tradition at different times of the year? How would you like the schedule balanced for your regular opponents?

FWIW I kinda like the idea of LSU doing something like this every year:

Week 1: Opener in Dallas or Atlanta against OOC BCS opponent
Week 2: cupcake/OOC opponent
Week 3: Auburn (new annual tradition - first SEC game for both teams)
Week 4: Arkansas
Week 5: cupcake/OOC opponent
Week 6: Florida
Week 7: MSU
Week 8: cupcake/OOC opponent
Week 9: Alabama
Week 10: rotating SEC East opponent
Week 11: Ole Miss
Week 12: bye week
Week 13: A&M - week of Thanksgiving

Weeks 1-4: OOC
Weeks 5-12: SEC

I get the whole not wanting too many tough games in a row at the end of the year thing, but I think getting the OOC games done first would prepare you for the season and make a team less likely to schedule shite OOC games.

OOC games shouldn't be a break, they're an extra week of practice (sometimes hard practices you lose in our case.)

Week 1: Clemson, home and home
Week 2: South Carolina
Week 3: FBS cupcake
Week 4: Alabama/LSU/Ole Miss
Week 5: Tennessee
Week 6: Kentucky
Week 7: Alabama/LSU/Ole Miss
Week 8: <bye week>
Week 9: Florida
Week 10: Vanderbilt
Week 11: Auburn
Week 12: Georgia Southern
Week 13: GT, home and home

ain't skurred. No offense to the Arky or MSU, but playing them isn't really a big deal to me.

ETA: My ideal schedule would be under the 12 team format. With 14 teams, knock off one of the Bama/LSU/OM matchups and replace it with Missouri. I doon't really care if we never play A&M. We have no history with them.
