Ole Miss, Florida, Auburn. There is no better permanent option.

Auburn is out. They're not getting LSU, Bama, and Georgia. They'll get Miss State.

Texas A&M, Ole Miss and Alabama is what I’d like to see.

Instead of A&M I would not mind getting Texas or Florida.

They might give us the three states surrounding us - Texas or Texas A&M/Ole Miss/Arkansas

Ole Miss, Arkansas, Miss State.

As out of conference, I want to play
Game1: Southern / McNeese / South Eastern / Nichols every year
Game2: LaTech or Tulane or ULL or Souther Miss every alternate year.
Game3: Home and Home basis, I want to play Baylor/Duke/Arizona/Kansas/Purdue/Syracuse/Virginia/Wake

No offense, that gives us at least 4 wins as the floor every year. That is something from which we can build.

If we go 11-2, no questions will be asked about strength of schedule on an year we avoid some of the super rich programs that will eventually dominate the SEC like Texas, TAMU, Georgia and Florida.

Go 8-4 and no one will care whom you played. You will be out.

There will be a Big 12/ACC team which will go 11-2 who have played 2 / 3 ranked teams and won 1 of those 2/3 games will get in over us.

We need the weakest possible schedule.

I know you over intelligent types want to play Alabama, Florida, Texas, Georgia and Florida every year but look at this you will lose 3 of those in an year and will be shut out of the playoffs.

I think we will get Ole Miss, Arkansas, and unfortunately A&M. I think Florida would be a better 3rd choice, but they are trying to create a rivalry between us and the Aggies and of course there is closer proximity.

I think the same thing about Alabama. They are out bc they have Tenn and Auburn

I’m hoping LSU doesn’t get Alabama as a permanent opponent because, LSU could end up having a home Halloween game.

Could you help me understand what having a game on Halloween has to do with having Bama as a permanent opponent?

Auburn will not be a permanent. They already have UGA and Bama.

up until last season, they played LSU, Bama and UGA every year since '92.

I think he is saying that LSU generally plays Alabama the first Sat. of November. Because of that, LSU, in recent years, has scheduled a bye week ahead of the Alabama game. Thus, if Alabama is not a permanent opponent,, there is no Alabama game on the first Sat. in November, and, therefore, no need for a bye the previous week...which next year would put a game on Halloween.

I think it's going to be Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and Alabama. I think Ole Miss is the most certain opponent. I just hope they move that game back later in the year closer to Halloween. That's the game we try to go to, and it would be nice if we had some crisp fall weather for the Ole Miss game every year.

True, but I don't think the SEC would stick Auburn with LSU given Alabama and UGA are their traditional rivals. LSU never was until 92. In fact, Auburn and LSU rarely played prior to 92

LSU not having a "rival" makes it tough to predict LSU's permanent 3. But I think most are confident it will be 3 from this group:

Ole Miss, Miss. St, Arkansas, A&M, Alabama, Florida. That's the schools LSU has played the most over the course of history
