The joke is your schedule.


LSU OOC : Chattanooga, BYU, Troy, Syracuse
Alabama OOC : Mercer, Colorado State, Fresno State, Florida State


Mercer > Chattanooga (beat them 30-10)
Fresno State > BYU (beat them 20-13)
Troy = Colorado State
Florida State > Syracuse (beat them 27-24)


I mean, sorry we didn't lose to the good non-P5 teams we played?

Other schools have this thing called a rival. Poor lsu doesn’t know what that is.

Those are essentially warmup games before conference play.

Often the biggest game of year for teams but it’s too late for a bye. Pretty obvious in most cases

Auburn, bama and UF have huge rivalry games to get ready for. I don't know what the reason is for LSU.

It's beyond ridiculous. You shouldn't be able to schedule cupcakes the last 3 weeks of the season.



Take that up with the SEC. They set the SEC schedule and then each team fills in their non conference games in the remaining 5 unscheduled dates. I doubt many power 5 teams in the midst of their conference schedule and coming down the stretch want to travel to or host Bama or Auburn in week 12 of the season.

Yea, LSU should schedule the more tougher games late in the season once they are hitting on all cylinders. Maybe move Troy back to November

That doesn't make cents, you shouldn't be able to schedule cupcakes in game 1 IMO.

We have no rivals.

Just 1 superior program we are still trying to deal with and a bunch of programs more times than not we beat up on since the beginning of football in 2001.
