MetryTyger,
NP, very polite response. I need to do some math though and check some stats because I saw many PAC 4 games OOC. So I need to find out when the switch was to 3 OOC games for us. And I need to do some math from that time period to see if your explanation holds up as you are very right, PAC 10 = only 10 teams vs SEC. However off the top of my head and not looking, the SEC played more non BCS schools then any single other Conference out there. And there were other 12 school other conferences. And the SEC was within a few games of having the most D-2's.
Again, I need to crunch some math, look up some more things. Yes, you were right. It got my goat. Only why is because those are easily readable stats as such as how many D-2 schools(and all the other cream-puff evidence played) and for other SEC fans to even hint that is not true just irks me, because the whole world knows it and anyone can easily see it.

Dude, it's cool.

I agree with you that we have played more creampuffs, but I don't think (all the time that is) that it's because we WANT to.
Scheduling contracts and negotiations with ADs can be hairy sometimes.
While there's no way you could have known this, New Orleans metro and Baton Rouge metro area and other state media have done numerous stories over the years on teams that LSU has, is, and will be in negotiation with to play. It's just something that is not newsworthy nationally :)
The reason I made that long list of "worthy" OOC opponents is simply because we DID play them, and I just happen to think it's a pretty representative list, 'creampuffs' notwithstanding.
I met a real good guy from Oregon who had the handle "baciami" from the National Rivals message board. He, along with Rivals posters from all over the country, decided to attend the LSU-Alabama game in Baton Rouge in November of 2008 (the 28-21 OT game). He was funny, and he had a blast....
