SEC schools have a more talented fourth string than Grambling’s starters


No shite.... I am saying it gets the offense and defenses of these bigger schools better in terms of chemistry and confidence. In turn, creating a better product when SEC play comes around.

Cupcake games should simply be moved to week 0. I'm good with scheduling instate games against smaller schools and HCBU's. Just do it week 0.

Might have been nice to scrimmage Grambling BEFORE playing FSU


This. Before FSU in week zero we are so starved for football we would love to watch lsu play grambling. But after its just so boring.

Playing Grambling is actually more embarrassing for the LSU football program than getting blown out on national tv by FSU

Right. Stadium will be half empty after halftime. How is that gonna look to the recruits?

I love cup cake games! Rent a win serve a purpose. Builds momentum & helps get PT for backups. And in our case, work out the kinks!

LSU is dumb for continuing to schedule the only non-cupcake game week 1. There's a reason every other major team is scrimmaging that week, and we're 0-1.

Double edge sword there man… if you fully Eliminate the paycheck games, A lot of schools stop playing football all together. These games are necessary for most programs.

it's not the Power5 schools' responsibility to fund cupcakes' football programs.

No shite, the P5 has been trying to kill the G5 for a long time. That’s what makes college football great, it’s all of the programs. Most of you want an NFL format.

Why schedule Grambling when you could schedule teams like Virginia, Boston College, Indiana, Kansas, Wake Forest, Cal, Purdue, Syracuse, etc.

I do like watching other teams, not just LSU.

But I don't give a hoot about most G5 teams or FCS teams, and it's certainly not the Power5's responsibility to fund those programs by playing a meaningless game that the cupcake will badly lose >95% of the time.

I rather an in-state school like Grambling or Southern get the money instead of an out of state school.

What if there’s a tie? Surely all teams in a 16-20 team conference can’t all play each other round robin



Of course they cant all play each other round Robin.
In the current SEC, not all teams play each other round Robin... yet we crown a conference champ every year... right?
