I'm not sure everyone realizes how difficult it is to come up with a schedule. Everyone plays a cupcake or two each year. A lot of times these games are used as warmup games early in the year or after a big game to prevent a letdown later in the year.
This year, LSU has late open dates because Bama and A&M both had open dates before playing us. So LSU didn't want those teams to have 2 weeks to prepare without them having the same. After 9 straight weeks the team is getting fatigued and it's a great spot to schedule a cupcake or a rent a win.
Unfortunately, LSU can't always get an in state opponent but they have had more in state opponents in the last 10 yrs than they did in the previous 10.
