You make good points.
I was writing from my perspective, as a fan.
I would like the Tigers to play more top programs, either current or all time top programs -- 1 a season would be plenty.
The excitement generated by the OOC matchups is worthwhile and puts our name out there.
It may hurt our national championship hopes like VT 2002, or it may actually help, like VT 2007.
We know what the Tigers can do, as do other SEC fans.
Fans nationwide, particularly the west coast, not so much.
I say take on all comers. If you aspire to be thought of as an elite program on a national level, I think you have to do that.
But you can't really single out LSU among SEC teams for having a weak OOC schedule. It's the way things are done in the SEC for obvious (to us anyway) reasons.
I support the Tigers either way.

USC may schedule tough OC teams but thats because they have to make up for there weak Confrence. LSU is reversed. We have to shy away from the Power Houses from other confrences because of the gauntlet we have to run being in the SEC.
