Should LSU play tougher non-conference schedule
Posted on 1/31/14 at 2:45 pm

I would like to see some marquee teams come to Tiger Stadium in the future rather than Western Kentucky or Sewanee.

No.
LSU had great of a schedule as you can have in 2011. What good did it do? All for not..
You play in the SEC, you don't need tougher non-con scheduling..

Case you haven't noticed the last several national champs haven't had the toughest schedule. LSU plays a hard enough in conference schedule so I am gonna say NO.

Everyone would. It won't happen. These games get scheduled years in advanced. Like TCU. If they were still in the Mac they prob would be a higher ranked team.
Plus any decent team we play, will be neutral site.

We don't have to get elite teams in the OOC schedule, but there should be BCS teams. I'd like 2 BCS teams and two lower conference teams. No FCS games.

We generally play 1 marquee OOC game each year. With the brutal SECW, along with FL as our east opponent, I think that's plenty tough.

In this day and age its all about titles. Whatever is the best path to them is what LSU will take. Titles = Revenue so getting big teams to come here isn't going to be easy at all/a loss would suck.

Yes, fans want exciting football, players want fans. If we can't finish in the top 4 in any given year (expected to be 8 in the future)even with a tougher schedule, then we don't deserve to be in the NC hunt.

I am fine with our football schedule. Would like a little more difficult OOC in baseball and basketball.
Would love to see a H&H with UVA in baseball, and VCU in basketball. UVA won't happen though with current managers.

Our non conference opponents in the past few years have been as good as anyone else in the country.
Oregon, WVU, Va Tech, TCU, Washington, UNC. Those are very good non conference opponents. And in the next few years we will play Wisconsin, Arizona St, and NC State.
And opponents have to agree to play us too. Its not like we just throw a team on the schedule and they have to play us. They have to agree to play us too. And not that many teams want to do that.
Theres a reason why our schedule is usually 1 of the hardest in the country. And its not just because we play in the SEC. Its because we schedule really good non conference opponents. And we have UF as SECE opponent.
And every year, regardless of who you play, will have a handful of cup cake games. You dont want to play a lot of big time non conference opponents when other SEC teams are playing cupcake teams and resting their players and getting younger guys some PT.

No. We play in a conference that has a number of marquee teams in it. We also play marquee OOC games every year already. Not all in Tiger Stadium, but Wisconsin, TCU, Oregon, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Washington are good enough with our SEC schedule.
When Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M, Florida, and Georgia start playing those type games, we will too.

We'll play better teams and lose and the Rant would want everybody fired. National Championship teams dont play tough OOC schedules.
