There’s no way LSU is getting off that easy on permanent opponents. A&M is right on the borderline of the top half and the other two are bottom half historically. More than likely, each top 8 team is getting two other top 8 teams. The only question is whether Tennessee or A&M is considered #8 after Bama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, Auburn, Texas and Oklahoma. More than likely they put A&M there to balance LSU and Texas. LSU is still going to get one of the others as well, probably Bama or Florida.

That might be true, but there is no way Alabama is playing Auburn, TENN and LSU.

We are absolutely going to get Texas A&M. Even if it was going to be a 1-7 rotation, our 1 would be Texas A&M, so they can maintain Oklahoma/Texas. The league has made it clear they want an LSU/Texas A&M rivalry.

The problem with us getting Florida is that they have to get Georgia and it's going to be just too tempting to give them Tennessee. I don't see them giving Florida to us in that scenario.

Bama? Your joking right? If your whole argument is that the SEC will screw LSU (a legit argument), then it relies on them giving Bama a break. But, Bama is definitely tied to Auburn and Tennessee, then adding a tough game like LSU has no chance. Bama is getting State.

Yes, my LSU lineup is one of the more weak ones. However, both Ole Miss and Arkansas are trophy games (as little as we give a crap about the trophies). I tend to think that is something the SEC will consider. (The real sign of whether the SEC cares about trophy games is if they maintain the Texas A&M - South Carolina " Bonham Trophy" game.)

JMHO.
