According to ESPN, 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.

LSU is scheduled to open up the 2017 season against BYU in the AdvoCare Texas Kickoff at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

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.
