So if by "easy schedule" you mean teams not in the Big Six, you're right. If by "easy schedule" you mean "teams that completely suck LOL LSU" you're simply wrong.

I'm talking "easy schedule" in regards to SEC play. You can play Rice, Texas, et. al. all day long but it has no effect on your conference winning percentage.

Florida has always played Florida State
Georgia and Auburn have played a magnitude of OOC games against both Georgia Tech and Clemson.

But we're not talking about that. We are talking SEC play.

BIG 6 TEAMS ONLY:

OVERALL ALL-TIME SEC RECORD:

1. Alabama (413-162-21) for 71.1%
2. Tennessee (333-199-20) for 62.1%
3. Georgia (325-210-14) for 60.5%
4. Florida (314-219-15) for 58.7%
5. LSU (312-223-22) for 58.0%
6. Auburn (302-248-19) for 54.8%

GAMES PLAYED AGAINST OTHER "BIG 6" TEAMS + GEORGIA TECH:

1. Auburn- 340
2. Alabama- 312
3. Florida- 310
4. Georgia- 301
5. Tennessee- 251
6. LSU- 240

Again, it doesn't take a rocket scientest to see that LSU has had a MASSIVE advantage over Auburn, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. Tennessee has had a relatively easy slate as well.

Why not take it a step further.... let's look at how many times each of the six have played the 5 worst SEC programs of all-time (who each have an overall SEC record of 38.3% or worse)...

GAMES PLAYED AGAINST TULANE, MISS ST, KENTUCKY, VANDY, & SEWANNEE:

1. Alabama- 202
1. Tennessee- 202
3. LSU- 200
4. Florida- 177
5. Georgia- 165
6. Auburn- 154

Once again, Auburn followed by Georgia have played the fewest games against the SEC's perennial doormat programs. While Tennessee and LSU (along with Alabama) have played by far the most games against such teams.

I would say this again speaks to the massive advantage that LSU has had over the last 83 years of SEC play.

If you don't think this has helped LSU look better in the standings, you are either crazy or delusional.


When its the year 2015, and you've played more SEC games against Tulane and Vanderbilt (combined 61) than Georgia and Tennessee (combined 59), you've had it easy.

Throw in there 57 meetings against Kentucky (compared to just 41 with Auburn).

And 82 games against Mississippi State (compared to just 64 against Alabama and just 62 against Florida).

... again, you've had it easy.

And you are still just #5 of the BIG 6 in overall SEC Winning percentage.
And you are still just #6 of the BIG 6 in "Big 6" winning percentage.
