Some things I found on the official sites of various schools:

LSU and Penn State share an open date on September 3, 2011.

LSU and Iowa share an open date on September 15, 2012.

LSU and Texas share an open date on September 8 and September 22, 2012.

LSU and Missouri share three open September dates in 2015.

LSU and Virginia Tech share an open date on September 3, 2016.

My opinion:

You need two open dates to schedule a home-and-home.

Unless you're thinking of a neutral site game.

I don't think Penn State would ever play us... but I would to see Texas come to town, or vice versa...

Va Tech, been there done that...

I'm sure we'll be able to schedule all of those teams to just come to Tiger Stadium to fill those open spots. Thanks for researching this.

Texas will never agree due to recruiting exposure which is as weak an excuse as there is. Every year we get 2-5 recruits out of Texas. Aggies think the same way.

It doesn't even have to be a top tier team as far as I'm concerned. The SEC is brutally tough and I would like to see some mid level BCS teams like Northwestern, Stanford, Wake Forest etc. Hopefully something other than our Sun Belt Conference schedule will come about in the next few years. Since Skip is gone, maybe our new AD will schedule a couple of home and homes and not be preoccupied with money for home games.

I seriously think (and this is a very random example) that Skip would trade BCS Championships for money. i.e. If LSU were to somehow be able to make more money going 5-7 vs. 12-0 and winning a championship, I believe he would have chosen the 5-7 and the money. Before you guys lay into the improbability of this situation, yes, I know it's very unlikley that this would be possible. I'm just making a point as to Skip's priorities.
