LSU is wisely mitigating what they predict will be a tough conference schedule. It has ALWAYS benefitted them when they've been anywhere near the title mix. SOS has never kept them out of anything; it has only given them a boost against their other top-rated peers.

If you're bored by these games, I am too, but if you think this is anything other than what is smart for the program as far as on-field success is concerned, you're quite mistaken.

When? 2003 maybe?

In 2007, the VaTech game/win basically got us in the title game.

In 2011, we had a pretty brutal OOC. I guess I can't argue that "benefitted" us, but it's certainly not what hurt us.

I actually sort of hope a crap OOC schedule bites us in the arse one day.

I have no problems with cupcake games... When we scheduled Syracuse who knew they were gonna be 3-9 this year??? Just like back in 2003. We scheduled Zona the year they went 11-1. who knew they would suck so bad 4 years later....
