Games against FBS independents BYU, Army and Notre Dame will now count toward the SEC's requirement of playing one nonconference Power 5 team per season, sources told ESPN.com.
Beginning in 2016, the SEC will require its league members to play at least one nonconference Power 5 team. Notre Dame had always been included as a nonconference Power 5 team by the SEC, but the league recently decided to also allow games against BYU and Army to count, sources said.
Three SEC schools currently have future games scheduled against BYU: Missouri in 2015 and 2020, Mississippi State in 2016 and 2017 and LSU in 2017. Georgia will play Notre Dame in 2017 and 2019.
No SEC teams currently have any future games scheduled with Army.

Army should in no way be considered a power team equivalent. That's terrible.

A&M will soon schedule a 20 year series with Army.

While I definitely agree with this. Army is on my short list of team I want to see in Tiger Stadium, that goes for Navy and Air Force also.

For the love of God, why is it that Missouri and Mississippi State are capable of lining up a home-and-home series but we have to settle for these damn neutral site match-ups?!
Tiger fans, wouldn't you like to watch a football contest with this lovely backdrop?

It's not settling, LSU gets top dollar for those games. I don't like it as a fan either but when you're in a perpetual facilities arms race you have to do what you have to do to remain competitive.

Because the groups that put on the neutral site games aren't interested in bringing a team like MSU or Mizzou. So to meet the requirement they have to go and schedule home/home with the P5's

Do you not recall the 2013 game in Houston between Oklahoma State and Mississippi State?
