I like the stronger schedule
The strongest schedule in recent memory was last year's schedule. And look at how highly LSU was ranked nationally for most of the 2011 season, until we shot ourselves in the azz on 1/9.

For LSU, strong schedules = National respect. Weak schedules = Ho-hum nationally (unless you are Alabama, USC, or some other media golden child).

The other learning from last year is if you have a strong schedule and beat them all, like LSU did in 2011, nobody can make a claim ahead of you (except Alabama, which always gets a mulligan).

LSU has always been the red headed stepchild of the sec. Baton Rouge was the most westward member of the sec by far. LSU always played 3 Southwest conference teams like Rice, BAylor,TCU and Texas A&M on their schedule while playing 5 sec teams most years. We have played Rice and A&M more than Georgia & Tennessee. We just don't have much pull with the conference. Don't see it changing any time soon.
