You can't have it both ways. Let's say LSU could magically create a schedule that played 1 or 2 of the best teams from the other Power 5 conferences every year. We'd always have only 7 home games because we'd always be returning a trip to the Okalhomas, Florida States, UCLA's of the world. You can't get top flight teams to come play in Baton Rouge without going back to their place. It just doesn't happen.

That's why the neutral site games are such a big hit with all the schools. They get to play the tougher matchups without having to guarantee a return anywhere.

Someone finally gets it.

I don't agree. If you do what the sec requires, 1 power 5. Then some years you have 8 games and some 7.

It would still leave you with 3 cupcake games, but we are doing that anyway with a neutral game. Like this year, having wisky at home instead of in Houston would have been a huge boost to baton rouge economy that weekend. There really isn't an argument.

So we would rather play AT Syracuse than Miami? Wouldn't Miami benefit LSU WAY more in recruiting?
