Well, then you're just arguing with a straw man because no one is calling for that.
quote:
if you look back at the scheduling for the last 30 years, you know that last year's schedule was more the exception than the rule.
That's only because of the first 10 or 15 of those 30, going all the way back to the '70s, when we actually did play good opponents out of conference. Looking back at the last 10 or 15 years, last year was more the rule than the exception.

so does lsu most of the time and you know that
Three times in ten years, we've played a ranked non-conference opponent. Three times in 35 non-conference games is not most of the time.

quote:you yourself stated that the sec as a whole was changing recently in that regard. "SEC teams in general have been ramping up their non-conference scheduling". that statement agrees with mine that lsu is not terribly different than the rest of the conference. not to mention that you're including years from the worst decade of lsu football ever. last year was the exception, not the rule. va tech, oreg st, ariz st, ariz, (when they were scheduled, they looked like they were going to be much better than they were).
