How has LSU been able to play such an insanely easy schedule? Since 1933, Auburn has literally played an extra 100 games against other "Big6 + Georgia Tech" teams compared to LSU.
This thread is full of fail. Pretty much every source on the Internet lists Auburn, Georgia, and LSU as having the toughest strength of schedules among SEC schools historically (very similar strength numbers for all three of those schools). I think Florida is usually listed as a distant fourth. Bama is next (traditionally has a weaker regular season schedule than the other Big Six schools but negates that a good bit by playing tough opponents in more bowl games and SEC championship games than the other Bix Six schools). Tennessee usually has the the weakest strength of schedules among Big Six schools historically (for years playing opponents like Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Sewannee, Cumberland, Presbyterian College, UT-Chattanooga, etc.).

The biggest hit to Alabama's historic strength of schedule is that it doesn't have to play against Alabama.

Like who?
We've already PROVEN that LSU has played by far the easiest SEC schedule of the Big 6 teams. There is no disputing that.
If you look at OOC games, again LSU has very strong OOC series that were played all that often.
LSU played Rice 50 times between 1933 and 1995. So LSU played them 50 times across 63 seasons. Rice's record over this 63-year period of time?... 267-383-20 (41.3%).
LSU played Tulane another 35 times after the Green Wave left the SEC (between 1966-2009). So LSU played them 35 times across those 44 years. Tulane's record over those 44 seasons was 186-309-1 (37.6%).
Yes, LSU did play Texas 11 times between 1933 and 2003. But of those 11 Texas teams played, 5 of them had losing records.
Yes, LSU did play Notre Dame 11 times since 1933. But of those 11 Notre Dame teams played, 7 had 5 losses or more.
